(6)The envisaged acts of the States Parties Committee will, if adopted, produce legal effects for the Union, as they will determine whether regional economic integration organisations such as the Union can participate as observers in the States Parties Committee and in its Subcommittee. In addition, the envisaged acts will, if adopted, produce legal effects by determining the way in which future decisions of the States Parties Committee and its Subcommittee are taken. Decisions and recommendations of the States Parties Committee and its Subcommittee concerning the application and interpretation of the IHR (2005), in particular of the amended provisions authorised pursuant to Decision (EU) 2025/1129, are capable of decisively influencing the content of Union rules, in particular Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, which provides the framework and mechanisms at Union level for coordinating and strengthening prevention, preparedness and response to serious cross-border threats to health of biological, chemical, environmental and unknown origin.
