NOAH back 1-1-1 concept in on-line video

In its 25thanniversary year, The National Office of Animal Health (NOAH) is looking ahead to the issues that continue to matter to the animal health industry.

In a video recently produced by NOAH to mark this milestone anniversary, representatives from the veterinary, farming and food industries were interviewed on  the 1-1-1 Concept - A single market created by a single dossier, a single scientific assessment, and a single decision to license. 

“The current regulation system for animal medicines which operates across the European Union places burdens on the administrative authorities and the industry itself, and it delays the turnaround of useful animal medicines reaching the market, impacting on animal health and welfare and business alike,” said Phil Sketchley, Chief Executive of NOAH.

We at NOAH and IFAH Europe, think it is time for a single market for veterinary medicines in Europe,” he added.
