WRITTEN QUESTION E-2377/03
by James Nicholson (PPE-DE) to the Council
(18 July 2003)
Subject: Insignia for European Union military forces
Recent press reports suggest that military forces to be sent to Congo will wear identification insignia based upon a map of the European Union.
Reports state that this insignia does not include representation of any part of Ireland.
Would the Council indicate if such reports are accurate and if so indicate the reasons for this omission?
Reply
(5 December 2003)
The Council hereby informs the Honourable Member that the only official insignia worn by personnel engaged in the Artemis operation is an armband in the European colours (yellow stars on a blue ground) bearing the name of the operation (Artemis); the armband does not feature the map of Europe.
