Traduction de «Common Fields Act » (Anglais → Français) :

Taking into account the experiences of the External Borders Practitioners’ Common Unit, acting within the Council, a specialised expert body tasked with improving the coordination of operational cooperation between Member States in the field of external border management should therefore be established in the shape of a European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (hereinafter referred to as the Agency).

With a view to facilitating the cross-border provision of services, the Member States and the Commission, acting in close cooperation with Eurocontrol, should work towards minimising the differences notified by Member States in the application of ICAO standards in the field of air navigation services in order to reach a common set of standards between Member States within the single European sky in particular with a view to develop ...[+++]ing common rules of the air.

European added-value of interventions in this field can be achieved, in particular, by the Union acting as a catalyst: EU funded cooperation raises awareness of common challenges and threats and other shared issues and values between Member States, thus facilitating the emergence of common approaches in fields traditionally very close to national sovereignty.

[12] This unit would act as a "head" of the common policy of management of the external boarders to carry out common and integrated risk analysis; act as a "leader" coordinating and controlling operational projects on the ground, in particular in crisis situations; act as manager and strategist to ensure greater convergence between the national policies in the field of personnel and equipment; exercise a form power of inspection, in particular in the event of crisis or if risk evaluation demands it".

The preamble also establishes the unique character of the act, which brings together the common provisions as regards cooperation in the field of foreign policy and the European Communities.
