Implementation of the common security and defence policy (based on the annual report from the Council to the European Parliament on the common foreign and security policy)

An own-initiative report on the implementation of the common security and defence policy, based on the Council's annual report. The amendments cite Treaty provisions on permanent structured cooperation and the role of national parliaments, reference the EU-NATO joint declaration and capacity building for security and development, and characterise the EU's security environment as deteriorated and less predictable.
