Recital 19

(19) Supply shortages of raw materials, consumables, medical devices, equipment or infrastructure could affect the production of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures. Upon identification of a supply shortage or the risk thereof, the inventory should also cover those elements. That complements the detailed overview of the Union’s current and short-term future production capacities, in order to allow for the factoring-in of supply elements that could affect production capacities and to improve demand and supply management of crisis-relevant medical countermeasures at Union level.
