Specific Details
European Parliament Motion to Limit the use of Animal Medicines.
Intended results
That MEPs from Ireland reject the motion before the European Parliament that would limit the use of animal medicines.
To highlight that farmers are responsible users of medicines to treat animal bacterial diseases. Restricting them could jeopardise food safety and food security. The motion objects to the Delegated Act on the use of Antimicrobial Resistance.
That strict controls around the use of animal medicines should be a sufficient safeguard, without imposing further unreasonable restrictions.
To highlight that antibiotics are only allowed with a prescription and only following physical examination, good husbandry and proper diagnosis.
