Being an EU agency, the European Centre of Disease Prevention and Control is a supranational organization. Its impact, however, reaches beyond the European Union. The organization was established in 2005, and its headquarter is in Stockholm, Sweden.The organization may be regarded as a counterpart to the American CDC, and will apply the same Vessel Sanitation Program to EU ports as the CDC does in the United States of America.
