Greetings,
Regarding: "At the same time, the Council extended the mandate of the EU
border assistance mission for the Rafah crossing point (EU BAM Rafah) until

Does EU BAM Rafah function at the crossing point when the crossing point is
in operation?
Thanks.

The Council has prolonged the EU police mission for the Palestinian
Territories (EUPOL COPPS) until 30 June 2016. It is part of wider EU efforts
in support of Palestinian state-building in the context of working towards a
comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on a
two-state solution.
The mission, conducted in the framework of the common security and defence
policy (CSDP), has been assisting the Palestinian Authority in building the
institutions of a future State of Palestine in the areas of policing and
criminal justice since January 2006. Through its contribution to security
and justice sectors reform, the mission supports efforts to increase the
security of the Palestinian population and to reinforce the rule of law. Mr
Rodolphe Mauget is the Head of Mission. A budget of € 9.175 million has been
allocated for the mission's activities between 1 July 2015 and 30 June 2016.
At the same time, the Council extended the mandate of the EU border
assistance mission for the Rafah crossing point (EU BAM Rafah) until 30 June
