WRITTEN QUESTION No. 1979/97 by Bryan CASSIDY to the Commission. Stagiaires
C 21/128 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 22. 1. 98 These provisions have been established to place the animals under the direct control and responsibility of a veterinarian, when they are treated with a veterinary medicinal product not authorised for the particular circumstances in order to protect the animal and the consumer. The purpose of this provision, therefore is not to grant a particular profession a monopoly, but to protect public and animal health. There is no evidence that veterinarians actually abuse their position by systematically prescribing more expensive products.
