Press Release: Declaration by the Presidency on behalf of the European Union on the occasion of the participation of Taiwan as an observer in the 62nd session of the World Health Assembly

The EU welcomes and fully supports Taiwan's participation in the 62nd session of the World Health Assembly as an observer. The EU believes that this, combined with Taiwan's
participation in the International Health Regulations, will enable Taiwan to meaningfully participate in, and contribute to, the proper functioning of the WHO's worldwide health system. This decision will also allow Taiwan to contribute to the global effort against
potential pandemic diseases such as AH1N1 influenza.
