Amendment 26 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 3 a (new)
(3a) Given that objective, and in view of the current negotiations between the Union and the United States of America (US) on, in particular, animals farmed for the production of food intended for human consumption, information should be available on the practices of the Union's potential partner. In that context, on 10 April 2015 the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published a report1a on the use of antimicrobials in food-producing animals over the period 2009-2013. The report provides statistics on antimicrobials used in food-producing animals and regarded as medically important in human medical therapy. The following points are made: (1) 99% of antimicrobials sold and distributed in the US are used in domestic livestock farming; (2) antimicrobials medically important in human medical therapy account for 62% of antimicrobials sold; (3) 74% of antimicrobials medically important in human medical therapy are administered in medicated feed; (4) only 28% of antimicrobials sold are sold solely for therapeutic purposes; the FDA declines, on confidentiality grounds, to give figures for the volume for production purposes only; accordingly, 72% of antimicrobials are sold either solely for production indications or for both production and therapeutic indications; (5) 98% of antimicrobials medically important in human medical therapy are sold over the counter; (6) tetracycline is an antibiotic on the World Health Organisation's schedule of essential medicines and, in the form administered in medicated feed, alone accounts for 39% of all antimicrobials sold and 62% of antimicrobials medically important in human medical therapy; its use increased by 24% between 2009 and 2013; (7) administration, in medicated feed, of antimicrobials medically important in human medical therapy increased by 20% between 2009 and 2012 and by 9% between 2012 and 2013. __________________ 1a http://www.fda.gov/downloads/ForIndustr y/UserFees/AnimalDrugUserFeeActADU FA/UCM440584.pdf

Amendment 38 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12
(12) Carry-over may occur during production, processing, storage and transport of feed where the same production and processing equipment, storage facilities or means of transport are used for feed with different components. For the purposes of this Regulation, the concept of "carry-over" is used specifically to designate the transfer of traces of an active substance contained in a medicated feed to a non-target feed, while the term "cross-contamination" is to be considered as a contamination resulting from a carry- over or from the transfer in feed of any unintended substance. Carry-over of active substances contained in medicated feed to non-target feed should be avoided or kept as low as possible. In order to protect animal health, human health and the environment, maximum levels of carry- over for active substances contained in medicated feed should be established, based on a scientific risk assessment performed by the European Food Safety Authority and taking into account the application of good manufacturing practice and the ALARA (As Low As Reasonably Achievable) principle. General limits should be set out in this RegulationDirective, taking into account the unavoidable carry-over and the risk caused by the active substances concerned.

Amendment 57 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 19
(19) Taking into account the serious public health risk posed by resistance to antimicrobials, it is appropriate to limit the use of medicated feed containing antimicrobials for food-producing animals. PIn particular, preventive use or use to enhance the performance of food- producing animals should in particular not be allowed. not be allowed and the necessary measures should be taken to prevent the import of any live animals, carcases, meat, and prepared meals and dishes based on meat which have been treated for such purposes.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24
(24) Since the Union is conducting negotiations with a partner whose practices are far removed from the Union's objectives, the objective of this RegulationDirective, namely ensuring a high level of protection of human and animal health, providing adequate information for users and strengthening the effective functioning of the internal market, cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States and can therefore be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, ionly. In accordance with the principle of subsidiarproportionality as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union. In accordance with the principle of proportionality, as set out in that Article, this Regulation, this Directive does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve that objective,.
