Memo: Questions and Answers on the EU Veterinary Week and the World Rabies Day celebration in Brussels

The concept of an EU Veterinary Week (EVW) – based on an initiative of the European Parliament– was developed to promote the work of EU veterinarians and to explain the importance of animal health within the context of the EU's Animal Health Strategy (AHS), and in particular its two underlying principles of the partnership and communication. The overall aim of the EVW is to increase the public's interest in EU animal health and food safety matters . One of its main goals was to increase awareness of the AHS.
