Recital 1
(1) A network for the epidemiological surveillance and control of communicable diseases was set up by Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (4). Its scope was extended by Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) to strengthen and provide for a more coordinated and wider approach to health security at Union level. The implementation of that legislation confirmed that coordinated Union action on monitoring, early warning of and combatting those threats adds value to the protection and improvement of human health.
