Antimicrobial resistance causes 35,000 deaths per year in the EU.

AMR occurs when antimicrobials stop being effective due to overuse & misuse.

We have to ensure that antimicrobials are innovative, more widely available & used prudently.

Effective enforcement

Rules require enforcement.

While our proposals provide EU countries with more control over the design of their medium-term plans, they also put in place a more stringent enforcement regime to ensure they deliver on their commitments.
