"At present, cost of permission is 5.500 manats, despite speculations on the reaching its amount to 50,000 manats", the minister said.

Shiraliyev said the owners of drugstores actually can not cover their expenses within current cost of the license, because the real income of the pharmacy is much lower.

"At present, proposals are under preparation, within which amount of the state tariffs on pharmacy may decrease through its differentiation depending on the location and expected incomes of drugstore", the minister said.
