European Civil Peace Corps

Volume 459: debated on Tuesday 17 April 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development what the objectives are of the European Civil Peace Corps; and what the UK's role is in the programme. (130634)

There is no European Civil Peace Corps. The European Union carries out a wide range of civilian crisis management missions to support conflict prevention and post-conflict stabilisation. The UK has strongly supported EU activity in this area politically, financially and through the secondment of UK personnel.
