(1)Article 8(2) of Directive 2003/99/EC requires the competent authority of the respective Member State to investigate food-borne outbreaks in cooperation with the competent authorities responsible for addressing serious cross-border threats to human health and the consequences thereof pursuant to Decision No 2119/98/EC of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. That Decision was repealed by Decision No 1082/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote, which was later repealed and replaced by Regulation (EU) 2022/2371 of the European Parliament and of the Councilnote. Those investigations are to provide data on the epidemiological profile, the foodstuffs potentially implicated, the potential causes of the outbreaks, as well as to include adequate epidemiological and microbiological studies.
