We had therefore asked the EU Commission tostart a procedure for the withdrawal of an authorized veterinary medicinal drug which affects Community interests,Under Article 35 of Veterinary Medicines Directive (2001\/82\/EC).<\/p>\n<p> Recently, after months of wrestling, the Commission has mandated the European Medicines Agency (EMA) to come up with a technical opinion on the matter \u2013 a de factoacknowledgment that the facts raised by the VCF are relevant.One of EMA\u00b4s first steps has been to start a public consultation on the matter, directed at all professional bodies with information about scavenging birds, veterinary practices and the disposal of animal by-products.<\/p>\n<p> The VCF has now submitted its paper on the matter, and tried to answer all the questions asked by the EMA. You can find the VCF\u00b4s paper below<\/p>\n<p> The paper concludes that<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Veterinary diclofenac is extremely toxic to vultures &#8211; half of the Griffon vultures will die after ingesting less than 1 mg<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>In India, it caused a 99% decline of vultures \u2013 the decline observed could be explained if only 1 in 1000 carcasses available to vultures contained a lethal concentration of diclofenac<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Between 9,460 and 27,700 animals were treated with diclofenac in Spain during the first year of marketing of this drug alone<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands, of carcasses of cattle, pork and horses are eaten by vultures alone in Spain<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Many of those come from intensive explorations where veterinary control is not individualised<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Animal carcasses treated with diclofenac can still kill vultures seven days after treatment (thus even more difficult to control)<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p> <strong>Vultures are gregarious eaters, with tens, often hundreds of animals eating from a single carcass.
