he European Commission has adopted a Global Health Resilience Initiative that gives EMA a role in diversifying global supply chains.

Supply chain diversification is one of nine flagship initiatives proposed in the document. Believing that diversified and well-integrated global supply chains help build resilience, the Commission plans to work with global partners to address concentrations of production capabilities responsible for systemic risks.

As part of the efforts, the Commission will mobilize EMA and the network of EU national regulatory authorities to support collaborative regulatory pathways. The goal is to support the development and manufacturing of key health products based on mutual interest. The Commission also plans to work with partner countries on regulatory aspects of health science, genome, and biodata repositories. [European Commission]
