Notas del editor
Antimicrobial resistance is a priority in WHO due to the wealth of evidence showing that this represents a major global public health threat. In 2011, the Regional Committee for WHO/Europe endorsed the European Strategic Action Plan of Antibiotic Resistance, which includes the following action area;“Prevent and control the development and spread of antibiotic resistance in the veterinary and agricultural sectors”. WHO is working closely with countries to implement this.
To support the implementation of Conference Resolution 4/2015, an inter-departmental Working Group on AMR (AMR-WG) drafted an FAO 5-year Action Plan on AMR through an inclusive cross-sectoral and multi-dimensional consultative process.
The proposed FAO Action Plan on AMR addresses four major focus areas that are important for public health, livestock, crops and aquatic resources, with impact on food security, nutrition, the environments and sustainable development. The FAO Action Plan advocates for a programme cutting across the Organization involving headquarters, decentralized and country offices.
The implementation of country and global oversight activities listed in the FAO Action Plan on AMR, including the required level of collaboration with international partners, will require voluntary contributions estimated at USD 10 million, which translates to USD 2 million per year for five years (not including in-country depth implementation for which additional voluntary contributions and/or extra-budgetary funds shall be raised).
In the Rome Declaration on Nutrition (ICN2) (Rome, 19-21 November 2014) Members recognized that “food systems need to contribute to preventing and addressing infectious diseases, including zoonotic diseases, and tackling antimicrobial resistance” (http://www.fao.org/3/a-ml542e.pdf)
FAO Resolution on AMR (June 2015) (http://www.fao.org/antimicrobial-resistance/en/)
AMR recognized as an increasingly serious threat to public health and sustainable food production that requires a response spanning all sectors of government and society.

An AMR inter-departmental working group
This inter-departmental FAO Working Group meets on a regular basis, chaired by Chief Veterinary Officer Dr Juan Lubroth and brings together FAO officers from Animal Health, Animal Production, Codex Alimentarius, Fisheries, Food Safety and Plant
FAO brings multidisciplinary expertise (from animal health, livestock and production, food and feed safety, plant health and production, fisheries and aquaculture, legislative contexts, etc.) that is needed to address a cross-sectoral issue such as AMR.
FAO already contribute to many aspects of ONE HEALTH through its multi-disciplinarity.
Each of these aspects were considered in developing the FAO Action Plan (in support of Global Action Plan on AMR) and implementing at national and regional levels
Codex interest in AMR (why?):
Concern on the relationship between use of antimicrobial agents and the emergence of resistant microorganisms in the food chain – Extent to which use of antimicrobial agents in food animals/horticulture/humans contributes to antimicrobial resistance varies.
Codex texts:
(i) CAC/RCP 61-2005 - Recognizes importance of veterinary antimicrobials for controlling infectious diseases. Stresses that appropriate systems be established to ensure that veterinary antimicrobials are manufactured, marketed, distributed, prescribed and used responsibly.
(ii) CAC/GL 71-2011 - Risk managers need to know how to deal with the AMR risk and take decisions that are proportionate to the level of risk. To achieve this is necessary to follow science-based risk analysis approach.
Risk analysis of foodborne antimicrobial is still new and before it can be applied countries would need to identify any problems associated with foodborne antimicrobial resistance by setting up surveillance programmes.
Future work:
Information on the recent FAO and WHO resolutions on AMR was presented at the 2015 Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission, which agreed to request countries information on use and application of the Codex texts and the need for reviewing the texts and requesting FAO, WHO and OIE to convene expert meetings.
An analysis of the replies and proposals, prepared by the Codex Secretariat in collaboration with FAO and WHO, will be presented at the 39th Session of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (June 2016) for consideration.
The Development Law Service (LEGN) of the Legal Office provides assistance to countries and regional organization to modify or update their national legal frameworks for all areas under FAO Mandate, including good legal practices to prevent AMRs and for good AMUs.
The first stage of this assistance is the identification of legal elements and areas relevant for AMR and AMUs. AMR and AMUs might be addressed by legislation on a broad gamut of areas, from the authorization, production, sale and use of veterinary pharmaceuticals, to food safety-related maximum residue limits (MRLs) or the use of antimicrobials as phytosanitary products. The baseline for the identification of these legal elements is provided by the relevant international reference standards, particularly the standards of the Codex Alimentarius Commission and the OIE. Some of the good practices and recommendations provided in these standards will require legal underpinning to become legally binding.
Once the relevant elements have been identified, the legal support at the national level involves the analysis of national legislation, including the identification, collection and analysis of national legislation in the abovementioned areas. Countries may cover these areas under different legal instruments: veterinary pharmaceuticals, for example, can be regulated in standing alone legislation, in broader general pharmaceuticals legislation or in broad veterinary legislation. To facilitate this analysis, FAO usually works with national lawyers in the analysis of national law.
The analysis of national legislation by a national jurist may reveal a number of gaps, overlaps and areas that need regulatory reform. Based on this analysis, the second stage of the legal support results in recommendations to mainstream AMU-related obligations in national legislation. This second stage should be followed by a participatory process where the different stakeholders, including public and private stakeholders, support the formulation of recommendations for legal reform.
The final stage will be to, in close collaboration with the government and other national stakeholders, support the drafting of new or updated legislation. FAO has a team of international lawyers specialized in the different legal traditions and technical areas who work with national lawyers and regulators in the formulation of new draft legislation.
All this process is supported by the legal information collected in FAOLEX, the world widest database of food and agriculture legislation. FAOLEX is composed of more than twenty lawyers who analyze national legislation in fifteen languages and that support legal research activities in different domains.

FAO is developing a Progressive Management Pathway to support countries in the process of their auto-assessments, development, implementation and evolution of national action plans on AMR, with emphasis on the factors addressing antimicrobial use and resistance in food and agriculture.
FAO and EU-FMD have successful experience with the development, implementation and use of such pathways and stepwise approaches (Foot and mouth disease, Rabies…).
Countries are encouraged to integrate multi-sectorial and multi-disciplinary stakeholders to ensure all are onboard and have a sense of ownership in the process of development and implementation.
