Recital 12

(12) Those procurement procedures can be supported by any necessary preparatory steps, including on-site visits at the location of the production facilities of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures. That should allow for the timely procurement and purchase of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures across the Union and promote accessibility across Member States, with the primary objective of securing the speediest possible equitable provision and distribution of the crisis-relevant medical countermeasures in the required quantity needed by each Member State and with all necessary guarantees. The possibility of relocation, redistribution, resale, loan and donation should already be taken into account contractually at the time of purchase.
