(3) On 11 March 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared the novel coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. From the challenges experienced in responding to the pandemic it became clear that the Centre’s role in the Union’s framework for health crisis preparedness and response should be strengthened to better use the potential of the Union's and Member States' capacities to respond to future pandemics.

(3a) The capacity of the Centre to implement new tasks will depend on the level of financial assistance available from the Union, as well as on available internal and external human resources. In order to be able to fulfil the new tasks entrusted to it in the light of the COVID 19 pandemic, the Centre will need stronger funding and more employees. These new resources cannot come to the Centre only from one-off, project-oriented sources such as the EU4Health programme. From this point of view, the resources already allocated to the Centre in the next multiannual financial framework (‘MFF’) period thus seem to be completely insufficient. It is therefore important that Member States review the MFF and provide the Centre with further new and stable resources to enable it to meet new challenges and develop existing and new activities.
