Abstract

This Decree regulates the production, supply, marketing and utilization of national and imported drugs for animals.

The issuance, renewal, modification and withdrawal of marketing licences for drugs shall be published in the official gazette of the Ministry. Registered drugs can be prescribed for food producing animals, taking into account the effects on human consumption. Production and marketing of drugs must be controlled by the territorially competent animal health and food control station. Sanctions may be applied by the stations.
