Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 November 2022 on serious cross-border threats to health and repealing Decision No 1082/2013/EU (Text with EEA relevance) · European Union

(25) In times of crisis, ensuring the security of supply within the Union of critical medical countermeasures is paramount, and the experience derived from the COVID-19 pandemic has shown that this could be prejudiced by a number of factors. Union actions to safeguard commitments and protect the supply of medical countermeasures include, among others, an export authorisation mechanism pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/479 of the European Parliament and of the Council (22), enhanced cooperation agreements and procurement activities. Where relevant, actions taken under this Regulation should consider the potential activation of such mechanisms, pursuant to applicable Union legislation.
