Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Stresses that in such a geopolitical climate, the EU must preserve and promote its values, interests and stability on the global stage, as well as protect the security and prosperity of its citizens; stresses that this demands a fresh approach to shaping a new multipolar world orderscenario that is inclusive, credible and cooperative, and underpinned by the rule of law and democracy, as well as universal values, including human rights;
Amendment 16 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 4
Paragraph 4
4. Stresses that the CA is today considered by all relevant international actors (including multilateral organisations and states) to be the best way to frame an efficient response to multidimensional crisemergencies, directly coming from the recognition of the fact that attempting to bring stability by means solely of a single approach (military, in some recent cases) is most likely to fail;

Paragraph 9
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 13
Paragraph 13
13. Recalls that special attention must be paid to respecting the principles of humanitarian aidction (independence, impartiality, neutrality); believes that safe access to affected populations and especially the security of humanitarian workers depend above all on how they are perceived by influential actors in the field, and that they should be seen as independent from any partisan political consideration; points out, however, that the Commission’s humanitarian aid and civil protection (ECHO) servicedepartment is still part of a political organisation – the EU – and, consequently, strongly believes that more should be done to enhance cooperation and coordination between ECHO and the EEAS, both at the level of Commissioners and services and at field level, for instance between ECHO field offices and EU delegations;
Amendment 44 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 14
Paragraph 14
14. Believes that the CA must be rooted in a vision shared by all EU actors of the evolving strategic context in which EU action takes place; calls, therefore, for more regular and transparent information- sharing, policy co-ordination and teamwork between EU actors through all phases of EU action; calls, further, for the development of formal structures in which those exchanges could take place and where early warning, situation analysis and crisisemergency and post-crisisemergency monitoring could be conducted, potentially integrating existing structures (such as the EU SitRoom, the Emergency Response Coordination Centre and ARGUS); reiterates the need for a ‘Crisis Response Board’ within the EEAS, to be chaired by the HR/VP and bringing together all actors relevant to crisis management;
Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 21
Paragraph 21
21. Welcomes, in particular, the EU’s Strategic Framework for the Horn of Africa, which aims to bring stability to this strategic region by fighting piracy and its underlying causes, establishing legitimate authorities in Somalia and promoting regional cooperation through the simultaneous use of the EU’s external instruments, in cooperation with relevant partners in the field; recalls, however, that EU action in the region has been built up on the basis of pioneering CSDP initiatives (namely EUNAVFOR Atalanta and EUTM Somalia) that have then been followed by other EU instruments, making the CA in the Horn of Africa more of an ex-post empirical and pragmatic achievement rather than a well-designed and planned strategy; believes strongly that, in future, EU strategies must, if possible, be drawn up before the EU engages in a region, not after;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 23
Paragraph 23
23. Is convinced that, in cases where crisomplex emergencies cannot be avoided, the EU must be able to plan and deploy the appropriate civilian and military assets, as well as mobilise complementary EU instruments, rapidly and effectively across the whole spectrum of crisis management operations, including in cases of humanitarian crise disasters; calls for the implementation of the relevant Treaty articles in the field of rapid response, including Article 44 TEU; underlines, in that context, the need for political and security experts within the relevant EU delegations;
