I propose to take Questions Nos. 1674 to 1677, inclusive, and 1680 to 1682, inclusive, together.

I am currently drafting regulations on veterinary medicinal products - these will provide for:

• the rules pertaining to prescribing of prescription only medicines, including antiparasitics,
• the operation of the national database - the National Veterinary Prescription System (NVPS)
• the possession, administration and storage of veterinary medicinal products and medicated feed,
• the licensing of the importation of certain veterinary medicinal products and medicated feed
• the regulation of retail and internet sales of veterinary medicinal products
