COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING DECISION (EU) 2018/142
of 15 January 2018
amending Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU laying down rules for the implementation of Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism
(notified under document C(2018) 71)
(Text with EEA relevance)
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Decision No 1313/2013/EU of the European Parliament and the Council of 17 December 2013 on a Union Civil Protection Mechanism (1), and in particular Article 32(1) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Commission Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU (2) defines the capacity goals, the quality and interoperability requirements, and the registration and certification procedure of the European Emergency Response Capacity (EERC) as well as the general requirements for civil protection modules. |
(2) |
The acute shortage of emergency medical teams and other health-related intervention teams during the Ebola crisis in West Africa led to the concept of a European Medical Corps, which describes the part of the EERC that may be mobilised for response operations in case of disease outbreaks and emergencies with health consequences. The aim is to strengthen the Union's capacity as a whole to respond to disease outbreaks and emergencies with health consequences which overwhelm the coping capacities of the affected countries alone, both inside and outside the Union. |
(3) |
The requirements for civil protection modules need to take acknowledged international processes into account, such as the initiative of the World Health Organisation to classify Emergency Medical Teams and the guidelines established by the International Search and Rescue Advisory Group (Insarag). |
(4) |
Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU tasks the Commission, in cooperation with Member States, to assess the suitability of the capacity goals, the quality and interoperability requirements as well as the certification and registration procedure for resources in the EERC at least every 2 years and to revise them if necessary. The certification process for resources should be adjusted to take into account the experience gained during the initial period. |
(5) |
Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU should therefore be amended accordingly, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Implementing Decision 2014/762/EU is amended as follows:
(1) |
In Article 2, the following point (6) is added:
|
(2) |
In Article 16, paragraph 8 is replaced by the following: ‘8. The certification of a module, technical assistance and support team, other response capacity, or expert should be reassessed at the latest after 5 years, if the asset is submitted for reregistration into the EERC.’ |
(3) |
Annex II is amended as set out in Annex I to this Decision. |
(4) |
Annex III is replaced by the text set out in Annex II to this Decision. |
(5) |
Annex V is amended as set out in Annex III to this Decision. |
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 15 January 2018.
