Source: European Court of Auditors (ECA). Published: 11/2019. This 52-page report summarizes an audit that examined how the European Commission and relevant European Union (EU) agencies managed their support to Member States and the EU-funded research aimed at fighting antimicrobial resistance (AMR). It concluded that the activities of the Commission and agencies led to some progress, but there is little evidence that the health burden of AMR has reduced. It makes recommendations to improve the Commission’s response to AMR through better support to Member State national action plans; promoting better monitoring and the prudent use of antimicrobials; and strengthening strategies for boosting research.
