Permanent structured cooperation in defence: building effective European armed forces. Bruges Political Research Papers No. 15, September 2010

摘要

Sven Biscop and Jo Coelmont outline a concrete proposal to implement Permanent Structured Cooperation, the new mechanism introduced by the Lisbon Treaty in the area of the Common Security and Defence Policy. Their proposal comprises three dimensions: real but realistic criteria; a permanent capability generation conference; and promotion of pooling and sharing. On such a basis, Permanent Structured Cooperation offers real added value to the EU and Member States alike.
