The Mixed Committee took note of the Commission proposal for a Regulation establishing a mechanism for the creation of rapid border intervention teams and amending Council Regulation 2007/2004/EC as regards that mechanism.
The Mixed Committee invited the Council's preparatory bodies to start discussions on this proposal without delay.
It should be noted that the European Council adopted a Global Approach to Migration on 15 and 16 December 2005. This Global Approach contains a list of priority actions to be implemented by the Commission, Frontex and the Member States. As one of these actions, the Commission was invited to present a proposal for the creation of rapid-reaction teams made up of national experts able to provide rapid technical and operational assistance at times of high influxes of migrants.
