I voted in favour of this resolution because I think that we need concerted action and a holistic approach to combat the threat posed to public health by antimicrobial resistance. The increase in the number of resistant micro-organisms is an alarming phenomenon which might lead to a serious crisis if appropriate measures are not taken in time to prevent and control it. This is an area in which everybody can make a contribution through responsible use of antibiotics only when recommended by a doctor and in strict compliance with prescribed doses and lengths of treatment. I would stress in this context the importance of public information campaigns on the use of antibiotics in order to limit the phenomenon of increasing antimicrobial resistance. At the same time, I wish to draw attention to the need to continue research and development with a view to finding solutions to these new challenges. In view of the cross-border implications of the crises caused by antimicrobial resistance, it is necessary to coordinate efforts at international level. In this context, I welcome the establishment of the EU-US Transatlantic task force on urgent antimicrobial resistance."@en1
