Today Proteon Pharmaceuticals, JAFRAL and PTC Phage Technology Center have officially decided to register a non-profit organisation: PhageEU ASBL. With its seat and secretariat in Brussels, PhageEU will be well equipped to represent interests of #phage community in the EU.

Breaking news!!! Fist bacteriophage-based feed additive with EU authorisation. BAFASAL®, @Proteonpharma pioneering #bacteriophage-based feed additive, has received full regulatory approval from the European Union for use in #poultry.

PhageEU is growing while welcoming new members!

Full room in the @EuropeanParl yesterday and 100 online participants to discuss the potential of #bacteriophages in fighting #AMR. Thanks to @woelken, DG HERA, DG SANTE, EFSA and EMA for their contributions.

On December 11 we will be discussing the potential of #bacteriophages in fighting #AMR in the @EuropeanParl at an event kindly hosted by @woelken MEP. You can follow the debate online- more info on our website: https://t.co/c3m0QHc37S

1st meeting of the #SANT Committee has just finished. MEPs from all political groups mentioned #AMR as one of the main health threats that needs to be tackled EU and global level. Happy to see, that there is understanding of the urgency of this issue among EU decision makers.

The mission of PhageEU ASBL is to contribute to the development and application of #phage technology worldwide. PhageEU will act to facilitate access to phage technology in the EU and shape the political and regulatory agenda of the EU to e.g. fight #AMR.

In our #Manifesto for European Parliament elections we call on future EU decision makers to fully recognise potential of #phages in fighting AMR and as part of #OneHealth, to facilitate the registration process and earmark funding for R&D.

The consultation on the concept paper on human #phage therapies will be open until 31 March. Have your say in the first EMA guideline on these medicines, that could help us fight #antibioticresistance and open up new routes to treating infections. 👇 https://t.co/cjuHiEyh5P

Our Newsletter summarising PhageEU activities in 2023 is finally available! You will find in it breaking news for the #phage community, information about our events and campaigns as well as quotes from Phage Ambassadors.

#AMRAwarenessWeek #EAAD AMR is 1 of the top 10 global public health threats. As #phages are one of the most effective tools to fight AMR, we are happy to see that more EU decision makers support development of phage technology. @MicheleRivasi is a true Ambassador of this solution

At the occasion of #EAAD PhageEU is calling to facilitate the authorisation process of innovative treatments in the EU. Access to innovations such as #phage therapies is slowed down by burdersome procedures. Big thanks to @ECDC_EU for great discussion today!

PhagEU has sent an Open letter to the European Commission on the role of #phage community in the strategic dialogue on the future of agriculture in the EU and achieving #sustainable #food systems. https://t.co/oN14sQbUII
