European Union: European Commission Opens Feedback Period On List of Antimicrobials Reserved for Human Medicine

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   E42022-0034

The long-awaited EU proposed list of antimicrobial products reserved for human medicine has been published for comment through May 17, 2022. This Commission Implementing Regulation is part of the implementation legislation for the Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulation (EU) 2019/6, which was implemented on January 28, 2022. After the feedback period closes, the European Commission and the Member States must approve the final draft regulation, which could possibly be published in the EU Official Journal during the summer of 2022 at the earliest. Article 118 of the Veterinary Medicinal Products Regulation will extend this restriction on the use of reserved antimicrobial products to imported animal products.
