Amendment 17 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital A
Recital A
A. whereas the European Union has extensive experience in deploying multinational missions abroad in order to promote peace, security and progress in Europe and in the world; whereas these common security and defence policy (CSDP) missions regularly operate alongside and complement missions of the Member States, United Nations, international organisations and third countries; whereas the simultaneous presence of various actors as well as missions and operations in one conflict area underlines the importance of coordination and division of labour with a view to improving coherence and effectiveness of efforts;
Amendment 32 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital B
Recital B
B. whereas CSDP missions regularly depend on the effective performance of third-party missions, reliable cooperation, timely information sharing and sincere host nation support and ownership; whereas the lack of any of these can jeopardise the implementation of a CSDP mission’s mandate and could ultimately lead to the withdrawal of EU forces; whereas mandates should set clearly defined objectives for EU missions and operations, including a timetable for their attainment, as well as a comprehensive exit strategy;
Amendment 41 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital C
Recital C
C. whereas the premature termination of CSDP missions leaves populations unprotected and makes weak host nation authorities vulnerable, thereby opening up opportunities for state and non-state actors, including terrorists and extremists, and including those sponsored by our global competitors; whereas consideration for controlled phasing out of missions and operations or for transfer to other EU instruments is therefore crucial for the achievement of sustainable and comprehensive results in host countries;
Amendment 49 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital D
Recital D
D. whereas the European Union and its Member States should strive for autonomy when preparing, conducting and sustaining their CSDP missions; whereas the Union should be capable of rapidly deploying multidimensional and modular forces, swiftly reinforcing them where needed and sustaining them as long as required and without depending on third-party support;
Amendment 60 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital G
Recital G
G. whereas building capabilities and adapting them to military needs requires a common strategic culture and threat perception as well as solutions to be developed and combined in doctrine and concepts, the organisation and structure of forces, regular individual, collective and multinational training, defence materiel development, procurement and life-cycle management, military leadership development, staff recruitment and development, defence infrastructures, installations and facilities, interoperability and standardisation;
Amendment 97 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital K
Recital K
K. whereas a comprehensive approach is a prerequisite for achieving sustainable results in enhancing security and stability in conflict areas; whereas the EU’s integrated approach provides for the coherent use of different instruments at various stages of conflicts; whereas the integrated approach is also meant to prioritise prevention and promote the human security of local populations over narrow self-interests;
Amendment 122 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital N
Recital N
N. whereas Article 44 has never been used, and is ambiguous in terms of how it would work in practice in specific cases; whereas Article 44 provides for possibilities to react within an EU framework in a more rapid and flexible manner to various crises with the aim of safeguarding the Union’s values and interests;
Amendment 131 #
Motion for a resolution
Recital P
Recital P
P. whereas financing of the battlegroups has contributed towards disincentivising their use; whereas the scope of common costs for the rapid deployment capacity should therefore be extended; whereas, in line with Article 41 of the TEU, the administrative and operating expenditure for the RDC should be charged to the Union budget except for expenditure that is covered by the European Peace Facility, notwithstanding the possibility for participating Member States to make free- of-charge contributions to the RDC;

(b) The RDC’s tasks should reflect the needs identified in the EU Threat Analysis and should include, but not be limited to, rescue and evacuation operations, initial entry and initial phase of stabilisation operations, temporary reinforcement of other missions, and acting as a reserve force to secure exit; the Council could assign further tasks as referred to under Article 44 of the TEU, and the duration and scope of the assignments should be consistent with resources allocated to the RDC;
