European Union foreign ministers, meeting yesterday under the chairmanship of EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Catherine Ashton, agreed to send a 300-strong police force to Haiti to help maintain order following the devastating earthquake.
The decision came in response to a request from the UN to strengthen its mission in Haiti. European ‘gendarmes’ – paramilitary police forces – are already on their way to Haiti.
The foreign ministers also agreed to create a cell (EUCO-Haiti) to coordinate and exchange information on the civil and military resources contributed by the European Union Member States.
