Description
Summary:	Highlights • Most surveillance systems allow adequate CRS monitoring in Europe. • A common case definition facilitates data interpretation and comparability. • Information on the origin of infection should be collected by all systems. • Follow-up of rubella infections in pregnancy contributes to assessing CRS burden. • Use of genotyping should be enforced to characterize the chain of transmission.
