Network members include representatives of chief veterinary officers and chief public health officers from all 28 EU countries, Commission experts and EU agencies. The bi-annual One-Health Network meetings provide members with a platform to present national action plans and keep each other up to date on their progress, to share best practices, and to discuss policy options and how to enhance coordination.

At today's meeting, the Commission will present the state of play of the new EU AMR Action Plan, the EU's strategic approach to pharmaceuticals in the environment, supporting activities in developing countries, and funding opportunities under the Structural Reform Support Service (SRSS). The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) will advise on how to use the key outcome indicators for AMR and antimicrobial consumption.
