Policy Briefs
Rethinking EU Crisis Management From Battlegroups to a European Legion? Niklas Nováky Summary June 2020 This paper discusses an idea to create a European Legion that has been put forward by Radoslaw Sikorski, MEP. This would be a new kind of EU military unit, made up of volunteers rather than national contingents contributed by the member states. The idea stems from Sikorski’s desire to reform the EU’s existing battlegroups, which have been operational for 15 years but have never been used, despite numerous opportunities. The paper argues that although the EU’s 2007 Lisbon Treaty imposes heavy restrictions on the Union’s ability to deploy military force, it does not rule out conducting operations with a volunteer force. At the same time, a volunteer-based European Legion force would have to be created initially by a group of member states outside the EU framework. These states could then make it available to the EU’s Common Security and Defence Policy as, for example, a permanent battlegroup. An existing model would be the multinational Eurocorps. Keywords CSDP – Crisis management – Battlegroups – European Legion – European Council – Eurocorps 1 Introduction Since the EU’s Common (formerly European) Security and Defence Policy (ESDP/CSDP) became operational in 2003, the Union has launched a total of 13 military operations within its framework. Of these, eight have been executive in character, meaning that they were authorised to use force if this had been deemed necessary to fulfil their mandate. The most recent CSDP military operation is Operation IRINI in the Mediterranean, which the EU launched on 31 March 2020 to help enforce the UN’s arms embargo on Libya.

No. 207 October 4 2019 a New EU Commissioner for Space And
No. 207 October 4th 2019 A new EU Commissioner for space and defence. The EU has created a new defence and space arm to help fund, develop and deploy armed forces. Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen named an ally of French President Emmanuel Macron for the role. Sylvie Goulard, who will be responsible for the new directorate general, as commissioner for industrial policy and, in what increasingly seems to be par for the course, she was interviewed by French police recently in a case involving misuse of EU funds. She currently risks being rejected by the EU Parliament after a brutal hearing that focused on these improprieties. Read more here Please join our protest. Lunchtime: 13:00 on Tuesday 8th October outside Dáil Eireann, Kildare St. The TDs have returned from their summer break and it is important to reassure those who rejected PESCO that there is still opposition and that it is consistent, just as it is equally important to show those who supported it that we haven’t gone away. Please join us. The EU and its embrace of the arms industry. EU policy-makers see themselves as champions of the ‘defence industry’, and arms manufacturers and weapons-dealers have long held formal and informal seats at the decision-making table. The details and dealings of this cosy relationship are kept secret from the public, even as growing amounts of public money is given to the arms industry - money which could better serve social and environmental goals in Europe, and beyond. Read more here Click here. The EU Service (Army), should be seen as a sort of Erasmus but in the military/civilian field.

At the Brussels Summit, the Alliance will make important decisions to further boost security in and around Europe, including through strengthened deterrence and defence, projecting stability and fighting terrorism, enhancing its partnership with the European Union, modernising the Alliance and achieving fairer burden-sharing. This Summit will be held in the new NATO Headquarters, a modern and sustainable home for a forward-looking Alliance. It will be the third meeting of Allied Heads of State and Government chaired by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. + Summit meetings + Member countries + Partners + NATO Secretary General Archived material – Information valid up to 10 July 2018 1 NATO Summit Guide, Brussels 2018 I. Strengthening deterrence and defence NATO’s primary purpose is to protect its almost one billion citizens and to preserve peace and freedom.

EUROCORPS - Eurocorps' history Page 1 of 3 08/30/2005 - 03:16 pm Home Organisation Missions History Press Gallery Links Contact About us Eurocorps' history Eurocorps' history The origins Chronology of events Barracks The creation of the EUROCORPS can be seen as a logical consequence of the Elysée Treaty signed on January 22, 1963 (by President de Gaulle and Chancellor Adenauer). With this treaty, aimed at enhancing reconciliation between France and Germany, the two countries committed themselves to collaborate in the field of defence. Besides closer political consultation between the two countries, this also led to exchanges of personnel of the respective News armed forces and co-operation in the defence industry. Press releases Eurogazette 24 years later, in 1987, President Mitterrand and Chancellor Kohl decided to further improve military co-operation between France and Germany. They announced the creation of the French-German Security and Defence Council leading to the creation of the French-German Brigade in 1989. This major unit, comprising French and German units, ISAF VI has been operational since October 1991. On October 14, 1991, both heads of states informed the President of the European Council in a joint letter that they intended to further increase their military co-operation. This process was the basis for a Corps that would also be open to other WEU member states. On May 22, 1992, during the La Rochelle Summit the Joint Report of the French and German Defence Ministers was endorsed and François Mitterrand and Helmut Kohl formally founded the EUROCORPS. A few weeks later, on July 1, 1992, an implementation team arrived in Strasbourg to build up the Eurocorps Headquarters.
