"I would like to comment on the report by my colleague Mr Ouzký on the International Health Regulations, which I supported with my vote.
This legal tool is needed in order to secure, in a focused manner, prevention, protection and especially control in cases involving the spread of a disease. At the same time this tool makes sure that the response of the public health sector will be adequate to the risks that have developed.
This standard that was first adopted by the member countries of the World Health Organisation (1951) has since already been modified on four occasions. Its gradual implementation in its present form began as of June 2007.
This text provides the clearly defined interpretation of the EU stance adopted by the Commission and clarifies the EU’s role in implementing the International Health Regulations. It also examines the existence and role of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the Early Warning and Response System for public health threats (EWRS).
It will further contribute to the protection of our citizens’ health and for that reason I welcome its adoption."@en1
