At three recent European Councils (December 2012, December 2013 and June 2015), the Heads of State or government have called for a deepening of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) namely by strengthening its crisis management dimension and further developing civilian and military capabilities. The June 2016 European Council reverted to security and defence policy with particular attention to the strengthening of the relationship with NATO, including on the development of complementary and interoperable defence capabilities.
But what are the achievements? Is there a way of measuring progress made over the past years? Is there a gap between intentions/declarations and deeds? What are the challenges and how to address them?
The European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS) will address these questions at a roundtable discussion on ‘The European Council and CSDP: success or failure?’ on 27 September 2016, 13h30-15h00, in the European Parliament’s Library main reading room in Brussels. Participants at this roundtable debate are: Elmar Brok MEP, Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, General Jean-Paul Perruche, Former Director-General of the European Union Military Staff, Professor Alexander Mattelaer, Institute for European Studies, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), and Elena Lazarou, Policy Analyst, EPRS.

At the event the EPRS study on ‘The European Council and CSDP: Orientation and Implementation in the field of Crisis Management’ will be presented and discussed. This study assesses the planning, command and control of civilian and military CSDP missions and operations, progress made in developing civilian and military capabilities, particularly rapid response capabilities in the form of the EU Battlegroups, as well as challenges encountered during the force generation process, areas in which the European Council repeatedly called for further progress to be made.
A napóleoni háborúk tengeri harcainak egyik legnagyobb, és meglepő módon viszonylag kevéssé ismert katasztrófája a spanyolok két legnagyobb sorhajójának, a 112 ágyús Real Carlosnak és San Hermenegildónak a tragikus pusztulása volt a Gibraltári-szorosban, az 1801 július 12-ről 13-ra virradó éjjelen megvívott második algecirasi csatában. A két hajó fedélzetén több mint 1700 spanyol tengerész veszett oda, ami nagyobb veszteség, mint amit a spanyol részvétellel megvívott másik két nagy tengeri csatában, a St. Vincent-foki és a Trafalgári ütközetben a spanyolok összesen elszenvedtek. Az eset külön érdekessége, ami egyben némileg tragikomikus színezetet is ad a történteknek, hogy a két hatalmas spanyol hadihajó egymást süllyesztette el.
