“Is Europe ready and equipped for the
next public health crisis”
As we emerge from the COVID-19 pandemic, improved preparedness for health crises now dominates the EU
policy agenda. DG HERA (European Health Emergency Preparedness and Response Authority) has listed as its top priorities pathogens with pandemic potential; antimicrobial resistance; and chemical,
biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) threats. The prospect of biological weapons and ‘dirty bombs’ being deployed in Ukraine has underlined the urgent need for Europe to move quickly to
address the risk of bioterrorism. This debate will examine priorities and progress in meeting the challenge of better protecting the EU’s citizens from serious cross-border health threats.

Manolo DONAIRE, President of the European Federation of Essential Oils (EFEO)
Coming from the nature, with many European producers, essential oils have
multiple applications. We find them in food, fragrances, cosmetics but also in
growing sectors such as pharmaceuticals, biocides, pesticides and aromatherapy.
They play a key role in people health, well-being and safety. They are intrinsically
part of the European know-how and cultural heritage. Considering the increased
expectation from citizens for naturality, the sector is facing the challenges of the
Green Deal, its long term competitiveness and sustainable development.
