Brussels, 23 June 2022: Despite continued attempts by some MEPs to undermine the scientific assessment of the EU’s agencies, the European Parliament plenary again voted to ensure that veterinarians retain access to specific life-saving treatments for both farm and companion animals. Public health cannot be ensured if animal health and welfare is at risk.
Today’s vote showed once again that the majority of MEPs support the EU’s One Health approach and trust in the scientific advice of the EU agencies in addressing the challenge of antimicrobial resistance.
EPRUMA now looks to the European Parliament to support the implementation of wider EU policies supporting animal health and welfare built on the scientific advice of the EU’s agencies, and seeking a balance for the protection of human and animal health, as well as our environment.
