The operation coordinator is responsible for organizing a briefing. If no briefing is required for a particular operation, this is stated in the business case for the JSO and also in the terms of reference. To enable the participating States to prepare themselves for the operation, general information on the duration and anticipated dates of the operation is provided beforehand. To ensure confidentiality, specific and final details are provided during the briefing. If no briefing is held, the operation coordinator ensures that this information is passed on in some other way.
Confidentiality is to be guaranteed at all times.
The operation coordinator is responsible for drawing up a draft report for discussion in the debriefing meeting after an operation has been completed. The report is drawn up, and the debriefing is held, within two months of the end of the operation. The report is provisionally approved at the debriefing meeting, after any amendments or additions have been made. If the operation coordinator is a State other than the one holding the Presidency, it submits the report to the Presidency within three monts of the end of the operation. Finally, the Group finalizes and approves the definitive report.
