(75) As the COVID-19 crisis has shown, the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies with a legal mandate in the field of public health, especially the Commission, need access to health data for a longer period and on a recurring basis. This may be the case not only for specific circumstances provided for in Union or national law in times of crisis but also to provide scientific evidence and technical support for Union policies on a regular basis. Access to such data could be required in specific Member States or throughout the whole territory of the Union. Such Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies should be able to benefit from an accelerated procedure for having data made available, ordinarily in less than two months, with a possibility of prolonging the timeline by one month in more complex cases.
