- Abstract
- The Covid 19 pandemic has cast traditional health protection issues in a new light due to their cross-border significance with far-reaching consequences for almost all areas of social life and places health protection in the European Union in a broader context that goes beyond the national consideration of necessary measures at EU Member State level. The pandemic has made it clear that the responsibility for public health remains in principle with the EU Member States and that the competences of the European Union under Article 168 TFEU are – with a few exceptions – generally limited to supporting, coordinating and assisting tasks. This article examines whether the European Union is adequately prepared for future pandemics and other cross-border health threats based on its responsibilities under the current system of competences between the EU and its Member States in the area of health policy under article 168. The article concludes with some suggestions for discussion and consideration.
