We must welcome the fact that the Council proposal follows on directly from the conclusions of the Cologne, Helsinki and Feira European Councils which urged the Union to “improve and make more effective use of resources in civilian crisis management.”
The European Union has vast experience and the resources necessary to set up, at very short notice, operations such as the monitoring of elections, border control, police force training and outfitting. This potential must be exploited to the full, especially as the Union has not been capable of reacting quickly enough and the instruments for funding operations of this type were not flexible enough.
The European Commission does not provide for any “geographical limitation” to the Rapid Reaction Facility (RRF). It does, however, stipulate that the interventions must have a “short life span”. If events call for more long-term intervention, then the resources currently available, such as the thematic programmes, should be used.
Under the MEDA Programme, by way of example, the RRF will be used in particular for the training of immigration service officials and cooperation in combating terrorism."@en1
