WRITTEN QUESTION E-3895/98

by Karl-Heinz Florenz (PPE) to the Commission

(4 January 1999)

Subject: Directive 81/851/EEC on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to veterinary medicinal products

Does the Commission share the view that Directive 81/851/EEC(1) on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to veterinary medicinal products needs amending in order to ensure that medicinal products may be administered to animals which are of minor importance in the food chain (in this instance, horses), should such treatment be the only treatment possible, although those products are not authorised for those animals?

Answer given by Mr Bangemann on behalf of the Commission

(25 January 1999)

The Commission would refer the Honourable Member to its answer to written question 1495/98 by Mr Kindermann(2).
