Entry into force notes

This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union and shall apply from 28 January 2022.

Resumen

This Regulation establishes the criteria for the designation of the antimicrobials which are to be reserved for treatment of certain infections in humans, which are set out in the Annex. Those criteria should allow to identify those antimicrobials that are of high importance to preserve human health and that should therefore be considered for use in human medicine exclusively. The criteria should also enable to identify those antimicrobials, whose use in animals could accelerate the spread of antimicrobial resistance, or present a risk thereof, by allowing for the transmission of resistance, which may include cross-resistance or co-selection of resistance to other antimicrobials, from animals to humans. Finally, the criteria should allow to identify antimicrobials that do not represent an essential need for animal health, and whose absence of use in veterinary medicine would not lead to any significant negative impact on animal health.
