The European Union Training Mission Mozambique (EUTM MOZ) Mission Force Commander, Commodore Martins de Brito, welcomed a delegation of the Committee on Budgets of the European Parliament (BUDG), led by José Manuel Fernandes, to the headquarters, on July 26, 2023.
The EUTM MOZ Deputy Mission Force Commander, Colonel Daniele Pepe, briefed the Committee on EUTM MOZ’ roles, capabilities, mission, current activities and the main ongoing projects within the Headquarters and the three training camps located in Katembe, Chimoio and Mavalane.
The visit was valuable opportunity to describe how EUTM MOZ is contributing to the capability building of the Mozambican armed forces’ units, selected to compose future Quick Reaction Forces (QRF).
The Committee on Budgets travelled to Maputo and Beira to analyse and investigate the EU financial assistance to Mozambique aimed at generating a resilient society and promoting a stable economy through supporting job creation, fostering rural competitiveness and better engaging the private sector.
The EUTM MOZ has 118 military and civilian personnel from 12 European Union member states – Austria, Belgium, Estonia, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Lithuania, Portugal, Romania, Spain and Sweden.
The EUTM MOZ mission is to provide training and support to the Mozambican armed forces to protect the civilian population and restore security in the Cabo Delgado province. The mission has a non-executive mandate and will end two years after the mission has reached Full Operational Capability. The EUTM MOZ is one of the tools to address the crisis in Cabo Delgado, in conjunction with support for peacebuilding, conflict prevention and dialogue support, humanitarian assistance and development cooperation.
