As one of the largest markets for agricultural products, the EU can play a major role in promoting its AMR-related standards, measures in food production, and standards on animal welfare, e.g. through its bilateral Free Trade Agreements (FTAs).
EU ima lahko kot eden največjih trgov kmetijskih proizvodov pomembno vlogo pri spodbujanju standardov, povezanih z odpornostjo proti antimikrobikom, ukrepov na področju proizvodnje živil in standardov glede dobrobiti živali, npr. prek dvostranskih sporazumov o prosti trgovini (SPT).
