Chief Executive Jorge Domecq today welcomed at the EDA premises the EU Military Committee (EUMC) led by its chairman, General Mikhail Kostarakos.
The meeting mainly focused on two substantive topics: the overall EU Capability Development Process and the Capability Development Plan (CDP) review foreseen for 2018.
Last November, Defence Ministers agreed to review the CDP in order to improve the capability development process by taking into account R&T and industrial aspects, and tasked the EDA to present a new set of EU priorities for military capability development for Steering Board adoption by spring 2018.
The CDP serves as a reference for national capability planning by informing Member States about capability requirements over time, identifying areas for capability improvements and translating capability priorities into concrete collaborative programmes.
