".
It is up to the Council to decide upon the possible launch of a military operation conducted by the European Union as part of the Petersberg assignment. In accordance with Article 23 of the Treaty on European Union, the Council shall adopt this decision unanimously, as is the case, moreover, for any other decision with implications in the area of defence.
It is, furthermore, up to each Member State to take a sovereign decision at national level whether or not to commit their national forces to the operation. The Nice European Council recorded the conditions which might lead the Council to take a decision in a crisis situation. According to these, with a view to setting up an operation, the Political and Security Committee (COPS) may submit a recommendation to the Council on the basis of advice from the Military Committee. The Council, whose deliberations are prepared by COREPER according to the customary procedures, may take a decision on the basis of this. The decision to launch an operation would, in principle, take the form of a joint action. The COPS, as the kingpin of European security and defence policy and the CFSP, has a central role in defining the European Union’s response to a crisis. In particular, it provides the political scrutiny and strategic administration of a military crisis management operation. The option of deploying a rapid reaction force exists for the whole range of crisis management missions, the Petersberg missions as defined in Article 17(2) of the Treaty on European Union, humanitarian and evacuation missions, peacekeeping missions and combat troop missions for crisis management, including peacemaking missions."@en1
