European institutions are implementing the European Defence initiatives as planned, in particular to implement the “Global Strategy”. The “Global Strategy” has been presented to 2016 June European Council by the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Federica Mogherini. The strategic document, which replaces 2003 European Security Strategy and its 2008 update document, focus mainly on the functioning of relations between European institutions as regarding external relations, and on the status of EU relations in all the world regions. Defence issues received limited attention, because the Global Strategy should be followed by a White Paper or a sectorial strategy on European defence, which was eventually renamed “Implementation Plan on Security and Defence” so as to implement the Global Strategy principles. | ||
