(26) In order to ensure that high quality, safe and efficacious medicinal products, which have the potential to address public health emergencies, can be developed and made available within the Union as soon as possible during public health emergencies, an emergency task force should be established within the Agency to provide advice on such medicinal products (the ‘Emergency Task Force – ETF’). The ETF should provide advice on scientific questions related to the development of treatments and vaccines and on clinical trial protocols free of charge to those entities involved in their development, such as marketing authorisation holders, clinical trial sponsors, public health bodies, and academia, irrespective of their role in the development of such medicinal products. Decisions on clinical trial applications should remain within the competence of the Member States, in accordance with Regulation (EU) No 536/2014.
