Amendment 43 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 6
Paragraph 6
6. Underlines that the duty of consistency as defined by the Treaty, the new wording of Article 40 TEU (which states that the implementation of both the CFSP and the other EU policies shall not affect the application of the respective procedures), and recent ECJ case law (see the SALW case) protect both the primacy of the Community method and the distinguishing features and prerogatives of the CFSP, while encouraging the convergence of different policies, instruments, resources, and legal bases in a holistic, comprehensive approach, whereby security becomes a cross-cutting objective of EU external and internal action and the CSDP is one of its instruments; in this context, notes that civilian and military assets can be deployed in support to civilian actions in situations other than CSDP missions, as has been shown in practice by the EU Military Staff coordination of military capabilities during the Pakistan floods in summer 2010 in accordance with the applicable UN Guidelines on the use of Military and Civil Defence Assets in international disaster relief (Oslo Guidelines) and following the request by the Commission;

Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 18
Paragraph 18
18. Deplores the fact that the provisional organisation chart of the EEAS does not include the ‘appropriate structure’ which, under the Madrid accords, is to integrate the various units dealing with crisis response planning and programming, conflict prevention, and peace-building with the CSDP structures; calls for a crisis management board to be set up, to be staffed by the CMPD, the CCPC, the EUMS, the EU SITCEN, the peace- building, conflict prevention, mediation, and security policy units, the Chair of the PSC, the geographical desks and other policy departments concerned, according to the circumstances, and the Commission humanitarian aid and civil protection structures, placed under the authority of the HR and the executive Secretary- General, and coordinated by the Managing Director for Crisis Response; the Commission humanitarian aid and civil protection structures should be invited to be associated to the board as appropriate; calls on the High Representative and the Commission to equip the board with an efficient alert and emergency system and a large unified operations room, located within the EEAS, so as to enable surveillance to be carried out 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, hence avoiding the present operational overlapping (seven operations rooms), which hardly squares with the need for a proper surveillance and rapid reaction system to deal with crises; regular coordination and exchange should be ensured between this system and the European Emergency Response Centre currently being developed by the Commission to guarantee appropriate synergies while respecting each other competencies;

Paragraph 44 b (new)
44b. Calls therefore on the Commission and the Council to initiate appropriate actions: - for the internal level, the drafting of a Recommendation paving the way for a Directive aimed at harmonizing national measures regulating PMSC services, including service providers and the procurement of services; - for the external level, the drafting of a Code of Conduct paving the way for a Decision regulating the export of PMSC services to third states to the extent not covered by the above mentioned Directive;

Paragraph 56
Paragraph 56
56. Welcomes the ongoing revision of the existing CSDP concepts; notes in particular that the rule of law will be considered as an overarching concept covering police, justice, civilian administration, customs, border monitoring, and other relevant areas of use to planners and experts on the ground in setting up and conducting missions with strengthening and/or substitution (executive) tasks; endorses the work being done to develop the concept of CSDP justice missions, while observing that needless overlapping with possible Community programmes has to be avoided; doubts whether the kinds of tasks carried out to date in the EUJUST LEX - Iraq mission conform to the characteristics of a CSDP mission;
