answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/03/2017 answer text <p>On 6 March 2017, at the Foreign Affairs Council (Defence), EU Member States agreed to establish the Military Planning and Conduct Capability (MPCC) for non-executive military missions only. The MPCC will be part of the existing EU Military Staff and its current Director General will also be the Director of the MPCC - there is no such post as EU Operations Commander in Brussels, these roles exist only in the field leading individual operations and missions. The UK has ensured that the MPCC to be set up is limited in size and scope, avoiding duplication with NATO and minimising costs. It will be for the remaining EU Member States to decide how the capability continues after we leave the EU.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 22/03/2017 17:49:03 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
