I voted in favour of the resolution on antimicrobial resistance, a threat to public health, because this issue affects a growing number of people and involves high costs for public health-care systems. According to the 2009 report of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), over 25 000 patients die each year in the EU from an infection caused by bacteria resistant to many drugs.
I voted in favour of Amendment 1 because, although there are no clear links between the use of antibiotics for veterinary purposes and the development of resistance in humans, antimicrobial resistance affects both humans and animals and potentially can be transmitted in both directions. Additional efforts are therefore needed to improve agricultural practices so as to minimise the risks associated with the use of antibiotics for veterinary purposes and the development of resistance in humans.
I voted in favour of Amendments 2 and 3 because I do not consider that existing effective treatment options should be restricted, and I think that the use of so-called ‘last resort’ antibiotics targeting problematic human pathogens should be permitted in agriculture only under authorised circumstances and in combination with the monitoring of resistance, preferably on a case-by-case basis."@en1
