latter, three are executive and three

are non-executive missions;

States security or requiring an

the Union is currently deploying 11
civilian and six military missions and
operations 
(AM 134), of which, in
the case of the latter, three are
executive (ATALANTA,
EUNAVFOR MED IRINI, EUFOR
ALTHEA) 
and three are non-
executive missions (AM 134)
(EUTM Mali, EUTM Somalia,
EUTM RCA) 
(AM 130); reminds
that the mandates of the CSDP
missions aim amongst others to
foster security sector reform,
advance justice reform, and
strengthen military and police
training 
(AM 45); recommends a
proper evaluation of the missions
(AM 132) and operations on a
regular basis (AM 202) in order to
identify 
(AM 132) where their
effectiveness could be further
strengthened 
(AM 133); stresses the
importance for missions to be
deployed in a more rapid, flexible
and coherent manner 
(AM 202);

still a lack of political willingness of
some Member States to participate
in EU CSDP missions and
operations in a significant and
credible manner 
(AM 44),
underlines the importance to make
missions and operations more
robust, both in terms of human
resources and mandates; 
calls on
Member States to prioritise increase
(AM 166) the contribution of forces
and assets to all CSDP missions and
operations, addressing in particular
the existing shortfalls, as the issue of
financing for CSDP missions and
operations is crucial to their
sustainability 
(AM 204) and as
especially in times of crisis, and of
potential rising tensions and
conflicts, the budget for CSDP
should not be undermined
