European Union: Draft Commission Delegated Regulation Implementing Article 118 of the EU Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulation Available for Feedback

The European Commission has published a draft of Article 118 of the EU Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulation (EU) 2019/6, which extends the EU ban on the use of certain antimicrobials in animals and products of animal origin to imports into the Union. The Delegated Regulation for Article 118 missed the January 28, 2022 implementing deadline of the Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulation, but the draft act has now been made available for public feedback for four weeks through January 3, 2023. The draft act also indicates that a notification was sent to the WTO.
