Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 16
Paragraph 16
16. Deplores, in this context, the fact that the review of the Athena mechanism has not produced tangible results, and calls on the Council to deliver quickly on this issue; points out that, under Article 43 of Council Decision 2011/871/CFSP of 19 December 2011 establishing the Athena mechanism, that decision and the annexes to it are subject to revision every three years and that, the last revision having taken place in the second half of 2011, a further revision in the second half of 2014 was required by law; supports, in particular, an expansion of the costs eligible under Athena, such as the pre- financing of certain costs or the strategic transport of EU battle groups; expects a final decision on these issues at the next European Council on defence;
