According to the request, cooperation should be deepened for the sake of European security and burden-sharing in the transatlantic partnership (political and strategic interest) and in order to end military shortfalls and keep military capability up to standard as far as possible (military interest). The government’s questions focus on the implications for national sovereignty of the various forms of defence cooperation and on the lessons that can be learned from multinational programmes in the past. Logically, the next question is about the future possibilities for defence cooperation with partner countries in a bilateral or multilateral context. It is also apparent from the request for advice that the government considers it important to improve cooperation between the EU and NATO. However, the AIV believes that this subject need not be dealt with at length in this report since it was considered in detail in the report published in January 2010 on NATO’s New Strategic Concept.1 Nonetheless, observations about relations between the two organisations will be made at various places in this report. The full text of the request for advice is included as an annexe. This report is structured as follows. The introduction starts by briefly describing the political context in which the present debate on European defence cooperation is being conducted. It goes on to list various forms of defence cooperation and raises a few important questions about sovereignty and dependence. Chapter I – Perspectives on defence cooperation – deals with a number of sovereignty issues connected with defence cooperation. It also examines the initiatives for capability enhancement that have been developed in NATO and the EU, as well as some regional and bilateral initiatives. Chapter II – Lessons from European defence cooperation – identifies the main lessons that can be learned from defence cooperation in Europe in practice. Chapter III – Deepening European defence cooperation – makes specific proposals for further measures to embed the Dutch armed forces in an international framework. Finally, in chapter IV – Conclusions and recommendations – the AIV considers the need for more far-reaching European defence cooperation and makes policy recommendations for a cohesive approach to this subject. The request for advice mentions both international and European defence cooperation. Since this advisory report places the emphasis on the latter, as is apparent from the structure outlined above, the AIV considered it appropriate to refer to European cooperation in the title. 1 AIV advisory report no. 67, ‘NATO’s New Strategic Concept’, The Hague, January 2010. In preparing this report the AIV set up a combined committee consisting of Professor A. van Staden (chair), Lieutenant General M.L.M. Urlings (ret.) (vice- chair), Professor M.G.W. den Boer, Professor J. Colijn, Dr M. Drent, Dr W.F. van Eekelen, Dr B.T. van Ginkel, Professor M. de Goede, Dr A.R. Korteweg, Dr C.M. Megens, Lieutenant General H.W.M. Satter (ret.) and Professor J.G. Siccama. The executive secretary was M.W.M. Waanders (secretary to the Peace and Security Committee), who was assisted by trainees Ms Q.J. Genee, R.J.H. van Altvorst and M.V. Buijs. The committee met seven times between July 2011 and January 2012. In September some of the members paid a working visit to Brussels in order to obtain information at first hand on current developments in the field of capability cooperation at the EU and NATO. The committee also held discussions with a number of experts in The Hague. Annexe IV lists the persons consulted. The AIV is very grateful to them for their contribution. The AIV adopted this report at its meeting on 27 January 2012. Introduction As a consequence of the financial crisis in 2008 and 2009, major defence spending cuts will be made in large parts of Europe, including the Netherlands, in the next few years. The total defence expenditure of NATO’s European members shrank by €29 billion in 2009 and 2010 alone. This is equivalent to almost four times the Netherlands’ current annual defence budget.2 In the past it was apparent that the national approaches adopted by defence ministries to spending cuts often prevailed over a coherent European approach. European governments first decided independently to phase out or cut back on military capabilities, after which the consequences for joint military capability were discussed within NATO and the EU. And in decision-making on the current round of cuts in defence expenditure, there has once again been insufficient consultation or coordination between the European capitals. This last point is of particular concern. On this subject a former director of the European Defence Agency (EDA) said: ‘What is worrying is not so much the scale of cuts as the way they have been made: strictly on a national basis, without any attempt at consultation or coordination within either NATO or the EU, and with no regard to the overall defence capability which will result from the sum of these national decisions.’3 The financial crisis brings not only risks (shrinking defence budgets) but also a new challenge (deepening European defence cooperation). This is why the EU defence ministers have seized the opportunity presented by this crisis to breathe new life into the debate on European defence cooperation. In the autumn of 2010 they launched the Ghent Initiative, which is designed to identify the benefits of pooling and sharing military capabilities and a further deepening of defence cooperation. The main reasons for more defence cooperation between European countries are to improve military deployability and interoperability (more capable forces), combat unnecessary duplication of military assets, make expected cost savings, strengthen political ties, serve common interests and show solidarity among allies. The AIV notes in respect of the cost savings referred to above that more defence cooperation should not be seen as paving the way for new cuts in the defence budget. The AIV considers that the first question to be dealt with is what security risks Europe will face in the future and to what extent the EU must be able to operate independently of the United States if necessary in crisis situations. For the time being the EU will not be able to undertake large-scale military operations without an American contribution.4 As American foreign and security policy comes to focus more and more on Asia and the Pacific and the significance of the transatlantic relationship diminishes for the United States, Europe will increasingly often have to chart an independent course and assume 2 NATO Press Release, ‘Financial and Economic Data Relating to NATO Defence’, 10 March 2011.

    Carla van Baalen e.a. (red.) Jaarboek Parlementaire Geschiedenis 2012, pp. 71-81 www.ru.nl/cpg Goede raad is duur Het Nederlandse parlement en de Europese Raad1 Wim van Meurs De Europese Unie is niet alleen het Europa van inmiddels 500 miljoen burgers, maar ook het Europa van sinds kort (met Kroatië) 28 staten. Deze dubbele representatie doordesemt de hele Europese architectuur en de Europese besluitvormingsprocedures. Sinds de invoering van directe verkiezingen in 1979 is het Europees Parlement het meest democratische orgaan van de Unie. De Europese Raad als regelmatige ontmoeting van staatshoofden en regeringsleiders representeert daarentegen de wil van de Europese burgers slechts indirect en onttrekt zich aan het oog van de publieke opinie en aan democratische controle. Europese regeringen nemen immers in Brussel achter de gesloten deuren van de Europese Raad besluiten over reddingspakketten van honderden miljarden euro’s en ‘ombuigingen’ in de nationale begrotingen voor miljarden euro’s. In Zuid-Europa worden nationale regerin- gen gedwongen om door Brussel gedicteerde bezuinigingspakketten uit te voeren en wordt de bijbehorende wetgeving meer slecht dan recht door het parlement geloodst. Ook in het Noord-Europa van de ‘nettobetalers’ voelen de nationale parlementen en de kiezers zich door Europa in hun democratische rechten beknot. De democratische volksvertegenwoordiging in elke lidstaat staat voor een grote uitdaging: hoe kan ze in deze fase van strategische koers- bepaling haar stem laten horen en zo invloed en controle uitoefenen?2 Deze spanning tussen nationale democratie en Europese besluitvorming is het duidelijkst bij de Europese Raad, de in 1975 geïnstitutionaliseerde regelmatige ontmoeting van staatshoofden en regeringsleiders.

  • And Why It Matters for the Netherlands
    operationeel and why it matters for the netherlands Mr. Theo Sierksma (Rohde & Schwarz Benelux – RSBNL) and Mr. Michael Rother (Rohde & Schwarz GmbH) On May 17, 2018 the Defense Ministers of the Netherlands and Germany met in Lohheide in Lower Saxony (Germa- ny), the base of the mixed Tank Battalion 414. Both Minis- ters of Defense signed a Letter of Intent to join efforts in digitalization of their land forces for gapless communica- tion and interoperability. Over the last few months, there is a lot of attention in the Dutch Ministry of Defense organiza- tion for the program FOXTROT. Recently the program proposal has been approved (see INTERCOM 46.3-2017) and the organization is currently working on the composition of the program team. This team will also include a liaison officer with the German program D-LBO, before known as MoTaKo (Mobile Taktische Kommunikation). Although the digitization of mobile tactical communication is a huge program in Germany, in terms of material and financial size, there are still lots of decisions pending. This article will inform about the program MoTaKo and also indicate the coherence and similarities with the Netherlands program FOXTROT. intercom | jaargang 47 | 2 43 operationeel Why is an update needed? Most tactical radio’s in the German Bundeswehr are from early 90s (mostly unencrypted and analog). The current means are obsolete and no longer suited to enable modern communi- cation on the tactical mobile battlefield: difficult to maintain, no simultaneously voice and data, limited bandwidth, no IP capabilities, not multi-national interoperable, etc. In addition, various German military units have been integrated into multinational forces commands in the recent years, but not backed by adequate procurements/solutions to enable ro- bust military operations in this joint and combined way.

  • Bezinning Op Het Buitenland
    Duco Hellema, Mathieu Segers en Jan Rood (red.) Bezinning op het buitenland Het Nederlands buitenlands beleid Zijn de traditionele ijkpunten van het naoorlogse Nederlandse buitenlandse beleid in een onzekere wereld nog up to date? In hoeverre kan het bestaande buitenlandse beleid van Nederland nog gebaseerd worden op de traditionele consensus rond de drie beginselen van (1) trans-Atlantisch veiligheidsbeleid, (2) Europese economische integratie volgens de communautaire methode, en (3) ijveren voor versterking van de internationale (rechts)orde en haar multilaterale instellingen? Is er sprake van een teloorgang van die consensus en verwarring over de nieuwe werkelijkheid? Recente internationale ontwikkelingen op veiligheidspolitiek, economisch, financieel, monetair en institutioneel terrein, als mede op het gebied van mensenrechten en Duco Hellema, Mathieu Segers en Jan Rood (red.) ontwikkelingssamenwerking, dagen uit tot een herbezinning op de kernwaarden en uitgangspunten van het Nederlandse buitenlandse beleid. Het lijkt daarbij urgent een dergelijke herbezinning nu eens niet louter ‘van buiten naar binnen’, maar ook andersom vorm te geven. Het gaat derhalve niet alleen om de vraag wat de veranderingen in de wereld voor gevolgen (moeten) hebben voor het Nederlandse buitenlands beleid. Ook dient nagegaan te worden in hoeverre de Nederlandse perceptie van de eigen rol in de internationale politiek (nog) adequaat is. In verlengde hiervan zijn meer historische vragen te stellen.
