Recital 52

(52) To enable precise assessments of whether the deployment of specific internal market emergency response measures would allow for the reduction of the severe shortages of crisis-relevant goods or crisis-relevant services or the imminent threat thereof in an internal market emergency, the Commission should be able to request information from the relevant economic operators in supply chains of crisis-relevant goods and services. Such information requests should, where appropriate, concern: production capacities and stocks of crisis-relevant goods in production facilities located both in the Union and in countries outside the Union which those economic operators operate, contract with or purchase supplies from; the schedule or an estimation of the expected production output for the following three months for each production facility located in the Union and in countries outside the Union which those economic operators operate or contract with; and details of any relevant disruptions to or shortages in supply chains. To ensure full involvement of the Member State where the economic operator has its production facility, the Commission should forward, without delay, a copy of the information request to that Member State and, if the competent authority of that Member State so requests, the Commission should share the information it has acquired with that Member State through secure means.
