Because the European football championship of June 2008 took place in both Switzerland and Austria, and was expected to draw many European and international visitors, ECDC collaborated with the Austrian health authorities to ensure a risk assessment from a European perspective.
Ker je evropsko prvenstvo v nogometu junija 2008 potekalo v Švici in Avstriji in ker se je pričakovalo, da bo pritegnilo veliko obiskovalcev iz Evrope in od drugod, je ECDC sodeloval z avstrijskimi zdravstvenimi organi, da je zagotovil oceno tveganja z evropskega vidika.
