Will Lar, AMRN has hired a man with experience in negotiating pricing of CV drugs in Europe...That guy may act more as a "hold in place" employee until (if or when) a BP takes the process over. I think AMRN was also looking for a couple of price negotiators for Germany and Switzerland. (Would probably only hire them if it was necessary.) So even if it takes time to close a BO, AMRN has a person there who can do whatever is required prior to the point of actually distributing the drug.
