During the past few years, new European rules on medicinal products for veterinary use(link is external) were worked on. The existing rules had to be adapted in order to eliminate the differences between the sectors involved in medicinal products for human use and veterinary use. Until 27 January 2022, the European framework concerning medicinal products for veterinary use was regulated by Directive 2001/82. A directive means that countries are free to set up national regulation in agreement with the goals of the European directive.
