"− I voted in favour of this resolution because resistance to antimicrobial agents is growing in the world, affecting not just humans but also animals. This is a consequence of frequent or inappropriate use of antibiotics, and is a particularly sensitive problem requiring a coordinated decision at EU level. Only through joint efforts will we prevent infection from spreading and reduce the need for antibiotics. At present innovation in the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by the patent-oriented scientific research and technological development model, which has resulted in market failures and a reduction in scientific research and development. Consequently, EU-wide innovation prizes or other measures to intensify investment in research are needed. We must also ensure that antimicrobials are used in accordance with strict requirements and only when necessary. Given the increasing resistance of antimicrobial agents, the effectiveness of treatment with antimicrobials is falling, morbidity and mortality are growing, and health-care costs are rising. To ensure that the said objectives are achieved effectively and as quickly as possible, an integrated monitoring system for antimicrobial resistance and antimicrobial use in Europe should be established to prevent risks to human health."@en1
