I have heard very clearly what the noble Lord has said. Civil contingencies are one thing. In any of that legislation, do the words ““crisis management”” appear? My feeling is that they do not. ““Crisis management”” appears in the original Petersberg tasks, which were in the Maastricht treaty, only in the context of the use of forces in crisis management, and in subsequent CFSP matters. The noble Lord will have to strain very hard to find the words ““crisis management”” ever used for activities within the European Union.
