The Council of the European Union today prolonged the EU police mission for the Palestinian Territories (EUPOL COPPS) until 30 June 2015. It is part of wider EU efforts in support of Palestinian state building in the context of working towards a comprehensive resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict based on a two-state solution. The mission has been assisting the Palestinian Authority in building the institutions of a future state of Palestine in the areas of policing and criminal justice since January 2006. Through its contribution to security and justice sector reform, the mission supports efforts to increase the security of the Palestinian population and to reinforce the rule of law. Rodolphe Mauget has been acting Head of Mission since 1 July 2014. A budget of € 9.8 million has been allocated for the missions activities between 1 July 2014 and 30 June 2015.
