BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsforordningen)
(1) Pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Council, European Union reference laboratories (‘EU reference laboratories’) in the area of public health or for specific areas of public health relevant for the implementation of this Regulation are to provide support to national reference laboratories and to promote good practice and alignment by Member States on diagnostics, testing methods and use of certain tests for the uniform surveillance, notification and reporting of diseases by Member States.
(2) In accordance with Article 15(4) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2371, the Commission launched in April 2024 2 calls for applications for the designation of EU reference laboratories in three areas of public health, namely on food- and water-borne bacteria; on food-, water-, and vector-borne helminths and protozoa; and on food- and waterborne viruses.
(3) In response to those calls, Member States submitted applications for designation by 14 August 2024, which were evaluated by a selection board set up by the Commission services.
(4) The selection board took into account the requirements for EU reference laboratories set in Article 15(5) of Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 and in the calls for applications.
(5) Following the completion of the selection procedure, the successful laboratories should be designated as EU reference laboratories and their responsibilities and tasks should be specified.
