What are the prerequisites to join the EGF?
Ans. As mentioned in the Declaration of Intent, EGF membership is open to EU Member States as far as they have a police force with a military status that has full police powers. The police forces must be capable to respond to the full spectrum of police missions, both under civilian and military control. The CIMIN will examine applications of potential new EGF participants. Candidate Member States to the EU, under the conditions expressed above, can take part as an observer to the activities of EGF. The CIMIN will examine applications of such Candidates and will grant the observer status.
