Regarding ESVAC (1/3)

− Welcomes 5th ESVAC report & ESVAC strategy 2016-2020 − Welcomes intention to supplement sales with consumption data by species/subspecies; while acknowledging this is not easy − 4 main goals for FVE:

• 1. Get all EU/EFTA countries into ESVAC
• 2. Ctn work on antimicrobial data collection internationally
• 3. Ctn to work on having a robust comparable system on

antibiotic use and amr in humans & animals (with some ecosystem indicators?)

• 4. Use both data for risk assessment in relation to AMR

Regarding ESVAC (2/3) …

• To consider:
• Many differences between countries/regions:

 Species/subspecies farmed  Production systems (intensive/extensive)  Climate conditions  Diseases present  Availability of antibiotics but also alternatives or preventive measures

• Companion Animals, Rabbits, Turkeys, etc
• Investigate why antibiotic use in some regions/species

is higher e.g. no preventive vaccines available, ZnOx not allowed, etc.

Regarding ESVAC (3/3) …

• What is the European Parliament asking:

Amendment 162 “Member States shall collect relevant comparable and sufficiently detailed data, at per-farm level, on the volume of sales in terms of weight and cost for each antimicrobial type and the use of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal products including the species treated, the disease diagnosed and the route of administration.”
