Recital 31

(31) Member States, the Commission and Union agencies and bodies, while following the One Health approach, should identify recognised public health organisations and experts, and other relevant stakeholders across sectors, which are available to assist in Union responses to health threats. Such experts and stakeholders, including civil society organisations, should be engaged in the context of Union preparedness and response activities to contribute, where relevant, to the decision-making processes. National authorities should also consult and involve representatives of patient organisations and national social partners in the healthcare and social services sector in the implementation of this Regulation, where appropriate. It is essential that there be full compliance with transparency and conflict of interest rules for stakeholder engagement.
