"On 8 June 1999, the Council adopted a resolution on antimicrobial resistance. This is a major public health issue, which causes 25 000 deaths a year. Twelve years later, the problem remains unresolved and is still a concern for the European institutions; today this has led Parliament to adopt a resolution stressing the need to be vigilant in the face of the proliferation of bacteria resistant to antibiotics, which can spread among humans through the consumption of contaminated food. I welcome the fact that the Members of the European Parliament have highlighted the link between the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine and increased resistance in humans, which would naturally justify gradually phasing out the prophylactic use of antibiotics in the livestock farming sector. Obviously, therapeutic purposes should be given priority over prophylactic use during animal transportation, vaccination or stress. That is the message delivered by the major microbiologists who held a conference in Chicago last September and who, faced with an explosion of resistant cases, for example in chickens sold for retail, have recommended restricting the use of antibiotics considered vital to human health, such as flouroquinolone and the latest generations of cephalosporins."@en1
