RUMA welcomes the Commission’s aims for the current review of the Veterinary Medicines Directive 2001/82 and Medicated Feedingstuffs Directive 90/167/EEC and especially to deliver a regulatory system that can address appropriately the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) challenge. RUMA also welcomes the Commission’s willingness to receive advice and comments from those working in the field as evidenced by the far reaching consultation and the experts’ meeting on antimicrobial resistance held in Brussels on 8 June 2012. At that meeting RUMA understands that the Commission invited further comment and is pleased to provide this paper.
