The Swedish presidency has decided on 6 February 2023 to activate the integrated political crisis response (IPCR) to coordinate EU support measures in response to the earthquake in Türkiye and Syria, in close collaboration with the European Commission. A coordination meeting took place today.
The IPCR arrangements strengthen the European Union's ability to take rapid decisions when facing major cross-sectoral crises requiring a response at EU level. Through this mechanism, the presidency of the Council coordinates the political response to the crisis by bringing together EU institutions, member states and other key actors.
The IPCR arrangements were approved by the Council on 25 June 2013. In December 2018, the Council adopted a decision which codified them into a legal act.
