New progress in AMR monitoring in food and animal-derived products in the EU/SEE

The European Commission has released a new report highlighting progress in the implementation of AMR (antimicrobial resistance) monitoring measures in food and animal-derived products in the EU/SEE. The main objective of monitoring is to understand AMR trends and develop strategies to minimize its impact. The EU has adopted specific legislation defining procedures for sample collection, testing, and data reporting. The report analyzes the results of a Commission project launched in 2023 and concluded in 2026, which assessed the application of these measures. The document highlights the challenges faced and recognizes good practices. For further information on AMR monitoring, refer to document P23510 - Food Audits and Analysis | Food Safety.
