Division Support implementation of International Health Regulations (IHR) in MS

United Kingdom

Original text. Later amendments are not shown.

The International Health Regulations (IHR)f1 (2005) have been implemented since 15 June 2007. At European level, Commission Decision 2000/57/ECf2 has been amended by Commission Decision 2008/351/ECf3 in order to transmit notifications through the EWRS at the same time as through the IHR.

The activities supporting the implementation of IHR in MS have been identified:

  • survey and comparison of national legislation of MS dealing with security or health measures in relation to a public health emergency (crisis situation),

  • impact of health emergency measures on other policies such as mobility, immigration or protection of human rights,

  • current policies and practices in implementing the core capacities under IHR among MS and relationships to EU legal provisions.
