"− Antimicrobial resistance is an important, largely unresolved issue which has become a threat to public health in Europe and globally, resulting in longer, more complicated treatments, a decrease in the quality of life, a greater risk of deaths (25 000 patients die each year in the EU from infections caused by resistant micro-organisms), extra health-care costs and productivity losses of at least EUR 1.5 billion per year. The Special Eurobarometer of April 2010 reveals that many misconceptions exist about antibiotics and their effects, with 53% of Europeans still believing that antibiotics kill viruses and 47% believing that they are effective against colds and flu. It is therefore important to have a well-functioning monitoring and surveillance system in place in order to gather reliable and comparable data on the susceptibility of pathogens to antimicrobial agents and the infections caused by them, and the Commission should propose without delay a harmonised monitoring system for antimicrobial resistance. There is a need for more research on new antimicrobials and possible alternatives under the EU’s Research Framework Programmes and for cooperation with the WHO to be strengthened."@en1
