Recital 71

(71) It is necessary to lay down rules on digital tools in order to ensure preparedness for responding to possible future emergencies in a timely and efficient manner to guarantee the continued functioning of the internal market, the free movement of goods, services and persons in times of crisis and the availability of crisis-relevant goods and services to citizens, businesses and public authorities. This Regulation should also set out rules for digital tools ensuring prioritisation and acceleration of authorisation, registration or declaration procedures to facilitate the free movement of persons and the secure transmission and exchange of information. The Commission and the Member States should reuse or expand to the extent possible their existing digital tools. Where this is not possible, the Commission and the Member States should establish, where necessary and justified, new digital tools. The Commission should set out the technical aspects of such tools or infrastructures by means of implementing acts.
