Implementing Collection Reporting Tender

The Finnish Food Authority and the Finnish Medicines Agency are responsible for national collection of the data on use of antimicrobial medicinal products used in animals per animal species and the volume of sales of veterinary antimicrobial medicinal product as well as reporting the data to the European Medicines Agency (EMA). The project consists of development of IT systems and data quality management processes that will help in the collection of broad coverage data with high data quality and integrity. The actions also aim to improve the cooperation within the national framework of veterinary antimicrobial data consisting of various data providers, data refiners, and data users as well as data transfer routes. Specific best practices identified and evaluated during the work will be offered for adaptation in other EU countries.
