Hi All,

Thank you very much for the very interesting topic. I would agree that the restrictions in theory seem to be very strict. However I would agree with the level that they are set at. This is due to the fact that bribery can take many forms and can greatly influence people. Thus, having these restrictions avoids situations that can compromise the decisions made. In the medical device and drug industry this is extremely important. If a device or drug is chosen over another it should be for medical purposes, not simply due to the bribery of the doctors.
