(3) Apart from communicable diseases, a number of other sources of danger to health, notably threlated to others, of biological agents, chemical agents or environmental events, which include hazards related to climate changeorigin or arising from an increased prevalence of antimicrobial resistance or defective implantable medical devices, may, by reason of their scale or severity, endanger the health of citizens in the entire Union, lead to the malfunctioning of critical sectors of society and economy and jeopardise individual Member State's capacity to react. Therefore, the legal framework set up under Decision No 2119/98/EC should be extended to cover these other threats and provide for a coordinated wider approach to health security at Union level.
Amendment 40 #
Proposal for a decision
Recital 11
Recital 11
(11) Contrary to communicable diseases, whose surveillance at the Union level is carried out on a permanent basis by the ECDC, other serious cross-border threats to health, with perhaps the exception of antimicrobial resistance, do not currently necessitate a systematic monitoring. A risk-based approach, whereby monitoring networks are set up ad hoc and on a temporary basis, is therefore more appropriate to those other threats.
