Antibiotics are very special drugs. We are very dependent on their efficacy. They must be handled sparingly and responsibly if they are to be effective. Antibiotics are needed in both human and veterinary medicine. For this reason, our most important objective must be to maintain the effectiveness of antimicrobial agents in fighting illnesses in humans and animals. Sustainability can only be achieved by closer examination of the inherent dangers and risks. Innovation and development must result in a continuous supply of new agents. In May, we passed the resolution in relation to resistance to antibiotics in animals. Today’s decision is a supplementary point and is intended to focus on the danger posed to public health by antimicrobial resistance. An information campaign and greater international cooperation are essential.
The situation in relation to resistance, even after approval, must be continuously evaluated on a uniform basis throughout the EU. When animals fall ill, they have a right to be treated. For this reason, it must be possible, under strict regulation and in special cases, also to treat sick animals with antibiotics."@en1
