Collection Data Volume Tender

In accordance with Article 57(1) and (2) of Regulation (EU) 2019/6 and with the specific requirements set in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/578 and Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/209, Member States should collect relevant and comparable data on the volume of sales of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal products and on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products used in animals per animal species, and to report collated data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). Having efficient data collection systems set in place in due time in the Member States is crucial to monitor progress towards the achievement of the Farm-to-Fork (‘F2F’) strategy objective to reduce overall EU sales of antimicrobials used for farmed animals and in aquaculture by 50% by 2030. Portugal developed data collection systems on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products per animal species in line with Regulation (EU) 2019/6 and with the specific requirements set in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/578 based on e-prescription and on the sale of antimicrobial medicinal products based on wholesaler reports. Dedicated IT and Administrative staff recruitment to support the implementation of the systems is crucial to grant collecting and reporting full coverage data on the use of antimicrobial medicinal products per animal species, in a timely manner and in compliance with the requirements set in Regulation.
