"The European Union confirmed at the Nice Summit that it intends to take over the WEU’s crisis management responsibilities.
The Council noted the decisions on principle that have been taken to incorporate the appropriate tasks of the Western European Union into the Petersberg tasks. These included setting up a satellite centre and an institute for security studies in the form of bodies into which suitable parts of the current, parallel WEU structures would be incorporated.
The Swedish Presidency was called upon to join with the Secretary General of the Council in continuing the work on this issue in the Council (General Affairs).
A draft Community measure on the establishment of a satellite centre for the European Union is in the process of being discussed right now by the Council bodies. The Swedish Presidency aims to have it adopted by the Council before the end of June. A satellite centre is of the greatest importance for increasing early warning and crisis monitoring capability within the framework of the common foreign and security policy, especially the European security and defence policy. The centre must have a constitution and structure which will enable it to respond flexibly to the demands of the European Union and its Member States and to carry out its tasks in close cooperation with existing institutions within the Community at national and international levels. The staff and infrastructure of this centre should come, to begin with, from the WEU’s satellite centre. The precise arrangements for this have not yet been determined. The recently established satellite centre, which is to be located in Torrejón de Ardoz in Spain, will begin its activities on 1 January 2002."@en1
