34. Points to the need to overcome the current imbalance in terms of planning capabilities and the conduct of civilian and military operations by providing the EU with a permanent military-strategic level of command or Operational Headquarters (OHQ) to serve as a counterpart to the CPCC, which should be established based on a cost-efficiency analysis and the review of the EEAS structures by 2013 at the latest; points out that the Berlin Plus arrangements have been put to only limited use, having been confined to date to takeovers of pre- existing NATO missions, and draws attention to the problems connected with the framework nation track, which is based on the use of five national OHQs, and in particular to the fragmented nature of political and strategic operations planning (Crisis Management Concept, Military Strategic Options, Initiating Military Directive), adding to the difficulty of force generation, as well as making the use of civilian and military capabilities more complex to coordinate;
