This Regulation establishes a framework for mobilising and operating the enhanced emergency capacity of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) during a public health emergency at Union level. It provides for consultation between Member States and the Commission on the need for mobilisation, enables the Commission to submit a joint request where supported by at least two Member States, and requires the ECDC to coordinate, assess and prioritise requests for assistance from EU Health Task Force experts. The enhanced emergency capacity remains in place for the duration of the public health emergency, with the ECDC responsible for monitoring its activities and reporting regularly to the Health Security Committee and the Commission.
