“A new proposal of the European greens risks throwing the world of breeders and that of pets: a proposal that should go to the vote in the plenary session of mid-September, which would result in a general ban on the use of antibiotics intended for humane treatment of animals. It is an unacceptable drift: the initiative goes against the legislation that regulates animal welfare, for which any situation that causes suffering to animals it must be countered promptly and by any effective means; if finally approved, it would have a devastating impact not only on livestock farms, but also for pets, with serious consequences for the spread of zoonotic diseases.
The motion does not take into consideration the scientific advice of EU agencies that has been developed with the contribution of scientific experts, including international ones, in the field of human and animal health. There Alloy, after having voted against the initiative in committee, he will continue to oppose this absurd proposal and completely far from reality ”. So in a note Marco Dreosto, MEP of the League, member of the commission Envi, on the Greens proposal on the Commission delegated regulation for the modification of the criteria for identifying antimicrobials reserved for humans.
