 Dear  Mr B Mohammad pour,
Manufacturing sites in the UK and sites in countries that manufacture product for the UK are regularly
inspected to ensure compliance to the  EU Good Manufacturing Practice Guidelines (GMP).
If a site fails to meet applicable GMP standard then their license to manufacture pharmaceuticals can
be varied or revoked.

  
If a site continues to manufacture (ie manufactures without a license and hence illegally) then Enforcement
powers exist such that individuals  in the UK can be prosecuted under the Medicines Act.

The penalties applicable in such cases are  2 years imprisonment and/or unlimited​* fine.

 We can not comment on what  should or does happens in non EU countries if
Good Manufacturing Practice is not adhered to. 

 Your sincerely

B J Wright Group Manager Inspection
