In a situation of crisis, the solidarity measures to address such a situation should go beyond those provided for in . For that reason, when assessing the situation, the Commission should take into account quantitative and qualitative indicators provided for in Article 9 of that Regulation and substantiated information provided by the requesting Member State and information gathered pursuant to of the European Parliament and of the Council (13) and of the European Parliament and of the Council (14) and the European Annual Asylum and Migration Report referred to in .

The Commission should gather sufficient information to properly assess whether the requesting Member State is facing a situation of crisis, including instrumentalisation, or force majeure, in consultation with the relevant Agencies, in particular the European Union Agency for Asylum (the ‘Asylum Agency’), the European Border and Coast Guard Agency and the European Union Agency for the Fundamental Rights, as well as international organisations, in particular the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), and other relevant organisations.
