Recital 4

(4) The Health Security Committee (HSC), as formally established by Decision No 1082/2013/EU, plays an important role in the coordination of prevention, preparedness and response planning for serious cross-border threats to health. The HSC should be given additional responsibilities with regard to the adoption of guidance and opinions to better support Member States in the prevention and control of serious cross-border threats to health, and to support better coordination between Member States to address those threats. A representative designated by the European Parliament should be able to participate in the HSC as an observer.
