Joint Oireachtas Committee on Agriculture, Food and the Marine: EU Regulation on Veterinary Medicinal Products (Resumed): Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine (6 Oct 2021)

Matt Carthy: The question is not necessarily product specific. It is about antimicrobial resistance legislation. I know it will keep coming at European level because the Commission is under pressure from some member states and from some elements within the European Parliament to continue to review and strengthen any provisions that are in place. I am saying that the starting point should be that we...
