Version in force , Modified +486 −9§
Amended by Regulation (EU) 2024/2865 32024R2865 on EUR-Lex (external, EUR-Lex)
Explanation, written by a model and checked against the cited text
Paragraph 2(1)(a) now describes the guidance and tools provided to industry as up-to-date, whereas the earlier version did not use that qualifier.
Paragraph 2(1)(b) similarly adds the up-to-date qualifier and adds tools alongside guidance for competent authorities, and it refers to the application and implementation of the Regulation rather than only its operation.
Two new paragraphs are added: paragraph 3 addresses the Agency acting as an appointed body under Article 45(1a) and putting in place tools to provide access to information for appointed bodies handling emergency health response and preventative measures, and paragraph 4 states that the Agency shall be provided with adequate resources to support its work.
