Traduction de «Technical control centre » (Anglais → Français) :

– having regard to the joint technical report of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA), published on 17 September 2009, entitled ‘The bacterial challenge: time to react – A call to narrow the gap between multidrug-resistant bacteria in the EU and the development of new antibacterial agents’,

First of all we made sure that we offered technical support through the European Centre for Disease Control, once again proving the wise choice of the European Union in establishing such a centre.

It is thus crucial to create synergies between national disease control centres, ensuring epidemiological surveillance, creating laboratory networks, issuing scientific advice and having a body that can provide, at European level, an Early Warning and Response System, also providing the necessary technical assistance and information on threats to health and preparing for health emergencies.

To achieve this, my plan to establish a Centre responsible for carrying out tasks on the control of diseases relevant to public health, to be established by 2005, will be presented to the Commission shortly. It would aim to enhance surveillance, coordinate common responses, set up and maintain a network of reference laboratories and collaborate with Member States, candidate countries and international organisations such as the WHO. Although the centre would be small, it would be influential. In addition to coordinating a ...[+++]ction and technical support, it should provide independent scientific advice to the Commission, other EU Institutions and Member States.

The Commission has already asked for a study on the work of air traffic controllers and sees scope for further technical harmonisation on area navigation as an alternative to fixed air corridors, to a Conflict Alert System for air traffic control centres, for automatic communication between ATC centres when responsibility is transferred from one to another, for automated altitude transponders in aircraft and for automated landing s ...[+++]ystems at airports.

The European Commission has therefore proposed a series of measures which will allow the European network to cope with increasing pressure: - creation of a centralized air flow management system to coordinate the existing independent units - technical harmonisation to improve communication, technical compatibility and training - efforts by member states to allow some of the airspace reserved for military purposes to be made available for civilian use - Community coordination of airport infrastructure planning with possibility of Community financial support and a better dialogue between airports and their users - research into the develop ...[+++]ment of a fully integrated and automated system for air traffic management throughout European air space Improving the traffic flow A centralised air traffic management system for European airspace is essential, in the view of the Commission, since the present network of national air traffic control centres is ill-suited to managing the growing volume of traffic.
