EU Regulation 2019/6 on veterinary medicinal products comes into effect in January 2022. This Regulation is binding in full and has direct effect on all Member States.

The Department is currently drafting secondary legislation to give effect to this Regulation which is expected to be in place in advance of the 28th January 2022 deadline.
