The Community Civil Protection Mechanism was first established by Council Decision in 2001. Its purpose is to facilitate cooperation in civil protection assistance interventions in the event of a major emergency which may require urgent response action and also in situations where there may be an imminent threat of a major emergency. It is, therefore, an instrument that enhances Community cooperation in civil protection matters. |
