Søren Nors Nielsen, The Royal Danish School of Pharmacy

The authors terminated the editorial work in February 1998 and the conclusions were discussed at a Steering Group Meeting in March 1998. Due to delay of publishing the report, it was necessary to update the information of the consumption of the veterinary medical products.

The report was circulated to the members of the steering group and during this process the Danish Medicines Agency notified that they could not approve the conclusions in the report in spite of former agreements.

June 2000 an agreement was reached.
