Joint Procurement
Establishment of a mechanism for joint procurement of medical
countermeasures
It improves preparedness for all cross-border threats to health
as any medical countermeasure for the mitigation of any
cross-border threat to health could be procured in common

Exit Screening Audit
• Exit screening at West –A airports challenged • Audit requested by Council • US /MS set up entry screening
• Best value Exit screening : 300.000 passengers screened, around 60 not boarded, 4 suspected for Ebola but none confirmed

Decision 1082/2013/EU – main elements for coordination (6)
Early Warning and Response System and rules for alert notification
•now covers now all serious cross-border threats to health •Commission and Member States to alert, assess risks and coordinate measures•Member States and Commission to notify alerts•links with other EU rapid alert systems at EU level •specific functionality to report an event under IHR •'selective exchange' functionality for medical evacuation or bilateral information sharing

Lessons learnt
• IHR bodes incl. WHO to separate risk assesment from risk management
• anticipate 4 months delay or more in EIPC declaration by WHO
• improve coordination and collaboration among MS• strengthen expertise and knowledge based training• strengthen intersectoral cooperation and IHR implementation• critical sectors to support public health • proactive emergency management by HSC• public health communication through HSC • better use of joint procurement• sustainable medical evacuation facilities• sustainable networks for exit screening and clinicians
