Abstract	We ask for ToO observations of flaring AGNs. The scientific motivations aremany: they provide unprecedented photon statistics, valuable for both scopingthe intrinsic spectra and variability of AGN and competing models for those(one-zone or two-zones, leptonic or hadronic) as well as detecting new VHEgamma-ray emitting sources (e.g. FSRQs, gravitationally lensed quasars) andsource classes (e.g. NlSy1), that can only be detected during bright flares. Wewill take triggers from: 1. Optical (Tuorla blazar monitoring program) 2. SWIFT(GCN/ATel alerts) or MAXI (ATel) 3. Fermi-LAT (MAGIC internal analysis chain andpriv. comm.) 4. VHE I?-rays flare based on MAGIC/VERITAS/H.E.S.S./HAWC/FACT5.VHE I?-ray flare seen by MAGIC (self-trigger) 6. Fast rise/decay seen by FACT 7. ATel/GCN.

Mission Description	The European Space Agencys (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESAs second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earths atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis.
