Total sales of veterinary antimicrobials agents for food‐producing species, in mg/PCU, from 2011 to 2014, for 29 European countries (EMA ESVAC, 2016)

  • Correction of sales data and/or PCU data published in ESVAC 2013 report is described in section 1.6 (EMA ESVAC, 2015b). Under‐reported for Bulgaria for 2011 and 2012 as several wholesalers failed to report data. Strength reported as base for most VMPs for 2011‐2012 for the Czech Republic; for 2013 and 2014, strength reported as in the label of the VMPs. Strength reported as base for some VMPs for 2011–2012 for the Netherlands; for 2013 and 2014, strength reported as in the label of the VMPs. For Slovakia, for 2011 and 2012, the data only represents antimicrobial VMPs imported by wholesalers; for 2013 and 2014, data represents all sales from wholesalers to end users (veterinarians, pharmacies, producers of medicated feeding stuffs and farmers, obtained by import and from national manufacturers). For Spain, under‐reporting for the years 2011–2013 has been identified (underestimated). For the UK, high sales of certain tetracycline‐containing products late in 2010 were probably used in 2011 and thus the use has been underestimated for 2011.
