欧洲议会于2013年11月通过了关于严重跨界健康威胁的欧洲联盟（欧盟）决定（1082/2013/EU），承认有必要加强成员国协调公共卫生应对跨界威胁的能力，无论这些威胁来自生物、化学、环境事件还是来源不明的事件。尽管多年来已经建立了报告传染病造成的跨界健康威胁的机制，但涉及化学品和/或环境事件的事件并非如此。在过去10年中，通过卫生方案资助了欧盟的各种合作项目，以填补卫生安全知识方面的空白，并提高对涉及化学品的重大事件的复原力和应对能力。本文介绍了欧盟卫生计划，该计划支持最近的研究活动，以解决跨境化学品事件中的弹性，规划，响应和恢复方面的差距。它还着眼于研究方案的产出将如何有助于改善对有可能压倒国家能力的跨国事件的公共卫生管理，将其与新的要求相结合，如关于严重跨界健康威胁的决定，以及突出未来发展的领域。
The European Union (EU) Decision (1082/2013/EU) on serious cross border threats to health was adopted by the European Parliament in November 2013, in recognition of the need to strengthen the capacity of Member States to coordinate the public health response to cross border threats, whether from biological, chemical, environmental events or events which have an unknown origin. Although mechanisms have been in place for years for reporting cross border health threats from communicable diseases, this has not been the case for incidents involving chemicals and/or environmental events. A variety of collaborative EU projects have been funded over the past 10 years through the Health Programme to address gaps in knowledge on health security and to improve resilience and response to major incidents involving chemicals. This paper looks at the EU Health Programme that underpins recent research activities to address gaps in resilience, planning, responding to and recovering from a cross border chemical incident. It also looks at how the outputs from the research programme will contribute to improving public health management of transnational incidents that have the potential to overwhelm national capabilities, putting this into context with the new requirements as the Decision on serious cross border threats to health as well as highlighting areas for future development Crown Copyright (C) 2014 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
