Recital 1

Council Regulation (EU) 2022/2372 of 24 October 2022 on a framework of measures for ensuring the supply of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures in the event of a public health emergency at Union level · European Union

(1) The ad-hoc measures taken by the Commission in order to restrict the spread of COVID-19 were reactive, and the Union was not sufficiently prepared to ensure the efficient development, manufacturing, procurement and distribution of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures, especially in the early phase of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic also revealed insufficient oversight of research activities and manufacturing capacities as well as vulnerabilities related to global supply chains.
