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 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.
