(4) Article 118 of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 builds on the One Health Action Plan against antimicrobial resistance (‘AMR’)9 , by enhancing the prevention and control of AMR and promoting a more prudent and responsible use of antimicrobials in animals. Moreover, the medically indicated use of antimicrobials contributes to animal welfare by ensuring healthy animals as well as providing safe and nutritious food, thus complementing the One Health approach. In this regard, the decrease in antimicrobial sales in livestock farming since 2011 is acknowledged1a. This is also reflected in the Commission’s Farm to Fork Strategy10 , in which the Commission has set the ambitious target of reducing by 50% overall EU sales of antimicrobials used for farmed animals and in aquaculture by 2030. _________________ 1a European Medicines Agency, Sales of veterinary antimicrobial agents in 31 European countries in 2017, October 2019, https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/documents /report/sales-veterinary-antimicrobial- agents-31-european-countries- 2017_en.pdf 9 European Commission, A European One Health Action Plan against Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), June 2017, https://ec.europa.eu/health/sites/health/files /antimicrobial_resistance/docs/amr_2017_a ction-plan.pdf. 10 Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions of 20 May 2020, A Farm to Fork Strategy for a fair, healthy and environmentally-friendly food system, COM (2020) 381 final.
