Title: "European Commission Proposes New Regulations for Antibiotics Use in Farming"
The European Commission has proposed new regulations to limit the use of antibiotics in farming to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance. The proposal, part of the One Health approach, aims to align farming practices with the European Medicines Agency's strategy on reducing antibiotic prescription in humans by 50% by 2030. The plan includes setting targets for member states to reduce antibiotic use in livestock by specific dates, mandatory reporting of antibiotic use in animals, and the development of alternative methods for disease prevention and control. These changes are subject to a public consultation and are expected to be implemented by 2022.
