7. With a view to limiting the use and easy availability of antimicrobial agents, welcomes Member States’ initiatives to review the legal status of all oral, inhaled and parenteral antibiotics (namely antimalarial, antiviral and antifungal drugs) that remain available to patients without a prescription; antibiotics should not be available in EU Member States without a prescription, i.e. sold freely, as this encourages people to self-treat, often on the basis of inaccurate assumptions;
