The EU Military Committee (EUMC) under the chairmanship of General Mikhail Kostarakos today convened at the European Defence Agency (EDA).
EDA Chief Executive Jorge Domecq emphasised in his introduction to the meeting that with the forthcoming Global Strategy, the European Commission Defence Action Plan as well as the NATO summit in Warsaw, this year would be a ‘cross roads’ for European defence cooperation. He furthermore expressed his satisfaction over the enhanced ties between the EDA and the EUMC.
Following a presentation of EDA’s work regarding Single European Sky / SESAR, Military Representatives exchanged views on the way ahead. The EU Military Staff (EUMS) then briefed the Committee on the ongoing interaction between EDA and EUMC/EUMS in ongoing CSDP operations and on the operationalisation of capabilities.
