The Management Board of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) on 14 December 2004 nominated Mrs Zsuzanna Jakab, a senior public health official from Hungary, to be the Centre's first Director. This marks a crucial stage in the start up of the ECDC, a new EU agency designed to strengthen Europe's defences against infectious diseases. Mrs Jakab is to appear in front of a European Parliament committee in early 2005 before her appointment. Once the appointment is confirmed the Director can begin recruiting staff for the Centre and establishing its Europe-wide network of disease control experts. |
