Monitoring progress towards the capacity goals
1. The Commission shall, in cooperation with Member States, continuously monitor progress made in achieving the capacity goals, taking into account capacities identified under Article 22. 2. The Commission shall regularly inform Member States of its assessment of the progress made in achieving the capacity goals.
Procedure for identifying response capacity gaps in the ECPP
1. As part of monitoring the progress made in achieving the capacity goals, the Commission shall, in cooperation with Member States, assess the difference between Member States’ registered capacities in the ECPP and the capacity goals set out in Annex III. 2. The Commission and Member States shall consider as the capacities pre-committed to the ECPP only those capacities that have a valid commitment and have been certified. 3. The Commission shall inform Member States about any remaining response capacity gaps.
Procedure for identifying response capacities outside the ECPP
1. Where the Commission has, together with the Member States, identified potentially significant response capacity gaps in accordance with Article 21 of this Decision, it shall, in cooperation with Member States, examine whether the necessary capacities are available outside the ECPP, in accordance with Article 12(2) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU. 2. The Commission shall only consider the following capacities as available outside the ECPP: (a) capacities registered in the CECIS; (b) capacities that are not covered by point (a) but that may be made readily available to the Member State or Member States in the required quantities, at the required location, within the required time frame and for the required duration. 3. For the purpose of ascertaining the capacities referred to in paragraph 2, point (b), the Commission shall address a request to national contact points, setting out the details of the assessment of potentially significant response capacity gaps and inviting Member States to provide information on any capacities available outside the ECPP as referred to in that point. 4. In its request pursuant to paragraph 3, the Commission shall set a deadline for responding of up to 60 calendar days, depending on the expected complexity for Member States of ascertaining the capacities referred to in paragraph 2. 5. Member States shall inform the Commission in writing by the deadline of the details of any capacities referred to in paragraph 2. 6. Where a Member State does not reply in writing before the deadline, the Commission shall assume for the purpose of its assessment that no capacities referred to in paragraph 2 are available in that Member State. 7. Based on the information received from Member States and taking into account only those capacities referred to in paragraph 2, the Commission shall assess whether those capacities fill the response capacity gaps identified in accordance with Article 21. The Commission shall consider the capacity gaps to be filled only when the combined number of capacities inside the ECPP and capacities referred to in paragraph 2 is equal to or exceeds the capacity goals set out in Annex III.
Procedure for addressing response capacity gaps
1. Where the Commission has, together with Member States, identified, in accordance with Article 21, potentially significant response capacity gaps that cannot be addressed in accordance with Article 22, it shall notify Member States in writing, detailing what it considers to be response capacity gaps and inviting them to address the significant response capacity gaps, in accordance with Article 12(3) of Decision No 1313/2013/EU. 2. Member States shall inform the Commission whether, when and how they plan to address the significant response capacity gaps, either individually or in cooperation with other Member States.
