Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: ABSTRACT EU Governance of Transnational Public Health Risks: the Case of Blood Policy & Regulation By Anne-Maree Farrell (Lancaster University, England) The political fall-out from blood contamination scandals in various Member States led to the creation of a new EU competence in blood-related issues in the Amsterdam Treaty. In January 2003, a new EU Directive was adopted setting common standards and procedures in relation to the management and safety of the Community blood supply. The evolution of blood policy and regulation at EU level points to a change in the way in which public health issues have traditionally been dealt with by Member States. Firstly, Member States had previously retained exclusive jurisdiction in health policy and regulation, including blood. Secondly, EU blood policy and regulation to date appears to be driven much more by political concerns, particularly in relation to risk assessment and management. Thirdly, medical and scientific interests no longer enjoy the same level of influence at EU level, as they have had at national level. Instead, they must compete with other organised interests and institutions for influence in the EU blood policy process. Fourthly, EU policy-makers favour the use of regulatory tools for standard-setting in relation to blood quality and safety. This paper will suggest that EU public health governance has developed as a result of Member State recognition of the political efficacy of burden-sharing in relation to policy-making on publicly sensitive issues, such as blood quality and safety. In this context, it further suggests that EU public health governance is likely to include the following elements: •a more complex and diverse policy community than is seen at Member State level; •use of EU regulatory tools to enforce standard setting; •the predominance of political concerns in the policy-making process, particularly with respect to risk assessment and management.
