"I am voting for this motion for a resolution, as I believe that antimicrobial resistance is an important issue which is still largely unresolved, and has become a threat to public health in Europe and the rest of the world, resulting in longer and more complicated treatment, in lower quality of life, in greater risk of death – 25 000 patients die every year in the EU due to infections caused by resistant micro-organisms – and in increased health-care costs and productivity losses of at least EUR 1.5 billion per year. It is no coincidence that the World Health Organisation made it the theme of this year’s World Health Day. I note with concern that antimicrobial resistance is a growing threat to public health in Europe and the rest of the world, despite the measures adopted at EU and international level, so I would call for an intensification in the fight against resistance to antimicrobial agents in human medicine."@en1
