Abstract

The new Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy will have implications for many areas of EU responsibility, including for the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). In this new Clingendael report, these implications for the CSDP are discussed. This report is based on the findings of the Netherlands EU Presidency Seminar that was organised in Amsterdam on 10 June 2016 by Clingendael and the Netherlands Ministry of Defence. The authors provide ideas on the operationalisation of the strategy through a CSDP White Book into new levels of ambition, the related adaptation of CSDP tasks and operations and corresponding capabilities. The report contains recommendations for the desired focus, content and structure of the White Book. These recommendations include ideas on how to move from voluntarism to real commitment to capability improvement and other ways for deepening European defence cooperation, and are the fruit of discussions held at the seminar.
