COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2022/524

of 27 January 2022

correcting Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/577 as regards certain references to veterinary medicinal products

(Text with EEA relevance)

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2019/6 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2018 on veterinary medicinal products and repealing Directive 2001/82/EC (1), and in particular Article 109(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) The error appears in all language versions of the text of recital (4), as well as point (1)(a) and points (2)(a) and (b) of Annex I and point (1)(c)(ii) of Annex II to Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/577 (2), as regards the erroneous use of the word ’veterinary‘ where the text is to be related both to veterinary medicinal products and medicinal products for human use.
