Full text not available from this repository.
Summary
Withholding periods for chemical allopathic veterinary drugs or antibiotics should be not less than double of that required by legislation, in any case a minimum of 48 hours.(Codex Alimentarius Guidelines Article 20)
Difference
Codex Alimentarius is more general than the EU Regulation 2092/91, where more than 3 course of treatments within one year (with the exception of vaccinations, treatments against parasites or compulsary treatments established by member states)lead to disapproval of the animal.
Justification
The Codex Alimentarius Guidelines are a guidance for governments and not a standard or a regulation on itself, therefore it cannot be so specific.
