| The EU is introducing new and improved rules to step up the fight against antimicrobial resistance and improve the availability and safety of veterinary medicines and medicated feed. This will be of benefit to animal health and help boost the competitiveness of the EU veterinary pharmaceutical sector.
The Council today adopted the animal medicines package including two new regulations on:
and changes to the existing rules laying down procedures for the authorisation and supervision of medicinal products for human and veterinary use and establishing a European Medicines Agency. “This package is a major milestone in the fight against antimicrobial resistance: on the one hand antimicrobials and antibiotics will have to be used much more prudently than is the case now, and on the other hand we encourage the development of better medicines and medicated feed. It is a win-win for public health and the competitiveness of the EU pharmaceutical industry.” |
