Original Consultation


1.        Background​

The Legal N
otice intends to address unregulated areas in the retail, distribution, manufacture and use of veterinary medicinal products. Regulating these areas is deemed as important to honour the commitments that Malta has with EU/International institutions that have the collective aim of safeguarding animal and human health. The changes allow Malta to regulate and control better veterinary medicinal products, including antimicrobials. Malta can therefore meet the objectives of the National ‘Strategy and Action Plan for the Prevention and Containment of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Malta 2020 - 2028.

The changes are aimed also at creating a level playing field for businesses in this area while increasing predictability and certainty. This will provide the right and fair environment for industry and related professions to flourish.
