On Christmas Day, a set of stricter health rules came into force as the European Union responded to threats from abroad.
The European Commission has announced that the new European Union health security framework entered into force on the first day of Christmas, against the backdrop of the threat from China, where more than 250 million people are estimated to have contracted the Corona virus in the only December.
“The building blocks of the European Health Union officially enter into force today. They also include, in addition to a set of stricter EU rules on serious cross-border threats to health, a stronger mandate for the European Center for Prevention and Disease Control (ECDC) and a new emergency framework for medical countermeasures.
With the extension of the mandate of the European Medicines Agency (EMA) and the establishment of the Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority (HERA), the EU now has the tools to better prepare and respond effective in the event of a public health emergency”, broadcast today The European Commission.
