  "text": "Today's health security challenges are not limited to direct health issues such as communicable diseases, or threats of deliberate or accidental release of biological, chemical and radio-nuclear agents. Health security should be a common concern to all policy sectors.\n. . . . .\nComparison of approaches, including benchmarking, guidance, exchanges of best practices and organisational models in emergency response and analysis of the conditions for transfer and adaptation to other contexts. The aim is to mitigate the impact of mass emergencies and to provide guidelines on which public health measures can be adapted to threats that can spread internationally at e.g. ports and airports. The coordination of the European response is essential for the efficiency of any containment or delaying strategy. This framework is also related to the common application of the WHO International health Regulations (IHR).\n[Call for proposals for projects]\nIncreasing capacity building for joint law enforcement of security and health authorities' operations on the basis of the EC working paper on Bridging security and health. The document focuses on the cooperation between civilian health and law enforcement authorities at national level, between Member States and at EU level, and provides a compilation of good practices that aims at helping Member States to improve their national structures, raise awareness and enhance European cooperation and coordination.\n[Joint actions]\nInternational conference on global health security. The aim is to better define the interdependency between health security and other sectors, to strengthen global links through the exchange of knowledge and good practice on health security issues and to define a number of key areas of health security. The conference will bring together European actors from public health and other relevant policies, international actors such as the Global Health Security Initiative, G8, WHO, defence organisations like NATO, and humanitarian and civil society organisations. It will also provide an opportunity to develop communication on internal and external aspects of health security.\n[Call for tenders]",
