Recital 37

(37) To ensure that the Board receives appropriate information about a potential internal market emergency, it is necessary to provide for monitoring. Such monitoring should concern supply chains of goods and services of critical importance for which the internal market vigilance mode has been activated and the free movement of persons who are involved in the production and supply of such goods and services. Monitoring of the supply chains of goods and services of critical importance should be carried out by the competent authorities of the Member States on the basis of requests for the voluntary provision of information about factors impacting the availability of the selected goods and services of critical importance, such as production capacity, availability of the necessary workforce, stocks, suppliers’ limitations, possibilities for diversification and substitution, demand conditions and bottlenecks. The request for the voluntary provision of information in the context of such monitoring should be addressed to all actors along the relevant supply chain of goods and services of critical importance and other relevant stakeholders established in the territory of the Member States. Collecting information about disruptions to free movement from the relevant economic operators along the supply chains of goods and services of critical importance is particularly important because the lack of an appropriate workforce is one of the prevailing causes of disruptions to supply chains. The monitoring, by authorities of the Member States, of disruptions to the free movement of persons involved in the production and supply of goods and services should be understood broadly, covering workers, service providers, business representatives and other persons involved in research, development and placing goods on the market. Competent authorities of the Member States should provide the information gathered to the Commission and the Board via the central liaison offices. That information should enable the Board to advise the Commission on the necessity of activation of the internal market emergency mode.
