1. In order to support the decision-making process regarding the formal recognition of a public health emergency at Union level, the Commission shall establish an Advisory Committee on public health emergencies (‘Advisory Committee’) which, at the request of the Commission or the HSC, shall advise the Commission or the HSC by providing its views on: whether a threat constitutes a public health emergency at Union level; the termination of a public health emergency at Union level; and response, including: formulation of response measures, including risk and crisis communication, to be addressed to all Member States in line with the different stages of the threat in the Union; identification and mitigation of significant gaps, inconsistencies or inadequacies in measures taken or to be taken to contain and manage the specific threat and overcome its impact, including in clinical management and treatment, non-pharmaceutical countermeasures and public health research needs; prioritisation of healthcare, civil protection and other resources as well as support measures to be organised or coordinated at Union level; and any subsequent recommendation of policy measures for addressing and mitigating the long-term consequences of the specific threat. The advice on response provided under point (c) shall build upon recommendations of the ECDC, EMA, the WHO and other relevant Union agencies or bodies, as appropriate.
