November 2, 2011 - Good Attendance at Information Day Veterinary Medicinal Products Unit

With 80 participants, the information day hosted by the Veterinary Medicinal Products Unit on 1 November was a great success .

The theme for the morning was the use of veterinary antibiotics. Nico Bondt from the LEI gave a presentation about the figures: the MARAN report and the Esvac project of the EMA. Then CVO Christanne Bruschke gave a clear presentation about the policy goals of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation. Björn Eussen from the Vetbase foundation then provided an insight into VetCIS. This central database was developed so that veterinarians can record the user data for veterinary medicines (including antibiotics) in a simple and transparent manner.

In the afternoon, an overview of recent developments was presented. Anne Marije Sparnaaij from the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Agriculture and Innovation discussed the opportunities in the framework of the top area Life Science & Health. Employees of the MEB Agency/BD gave presentations about the state of affairs concerning the European portal for digital submission, the opportunities for scientific advice, pharmacovigilance, work-sharing, the SPC project and the revision of the channelling status.

As soon as we have permission from all the speakers, the presentations will become available on our website.
