Furthermore, the EMA advocates for countries to engage the private sector in NRAs through public consultations and workshops, enabling comprehensive input, discussion of business models, risks, and mitigation measures, and the formation of public-private partnership groups to promote regular knowledge exchange and mutual understanding.
