EU highlights progress on antimicrobial resistance action plan
The European Commission this week published its latest annual progress report on implementation of the European One Health Action Plan against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR).
Among the highlights noted in the fifth progress report is the recent adoption of the European Union (EU) Farm to Fork Strategy, which aims to reduce EU sales of antibiotics for farmed animals and aquaculture by 50% by 2030, place AMR on the agenda of the G20 nations, implement a strategic approach to addressing pharmaceuticals in the environment, and adopt new EU legislation for AMR monitoring in bacteria from farm animals and food.
