Emergency Response Coordination Centre (ERCC)
European Emergency Response Capacity
The voluntary pool is a
system whereby Member
States can pre-commit
response capacities for EU
missions
In return for this
commitment, Member
States benefit from
financial support for
developing and transporting
these capacities
The quality of the
assistance is ensured
through the establishment of
quality criteria and a
certification process
Thank you.
