GAERC Conclusions on Operation Althea

Summary: October 11, 2004: General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC) Conclusions on Operation Althea (Brussels)

The Council approved the Operational Plan for the EUFOR Operation 'Althea'. This largest European Union - led military operation so far will be part of the EU's comprehensive approach in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It will sustain our long term objective of a stable, viable, peaceful and multiethnic Bosnia and Herzegovina, co-operating peacefully with its neighbours and irreversibly on track towards EU membership.

The Council noted with satisfaction the ongoing progress made in the planning and preparations for this operation. Transfer of Authority from the NATO-led SFOR operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina to the EU-led operation 'Althea' is foreseen on 2 December 2004.
