lpv:translated text	"− I voted in favour of this resolution because I believe that it is necessary to create new and better antimicrobial agents and at the same time improve conservation of existing antibiotic resources. Each year in the European Union some 25 000 patients die of diseases caused by drug-resistant micro-organisms, and at least an additional EUR 1.5 billion is spent annually on health care as a result. People use antimicrobial medicines (substances that inhibit micro-organism growth and reproduction) because they are able to destroy bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms, but their inappropriate and irrational use kills vital cells and suppresses the resistance of the immune system. Indeed, the use of antimicrobial medicines in food-producing animals and their feed is a major factor in the spread of these agents through food products, resulting in a weakening of the antibacterial effect of medicines used in the future. The resistance of antimicrobial agents is an ever-increasing threat to public health not only in Europe but also globally."@en1
