• Civilian CSDP approach : strengthening / executive

• Evolution of EU action from classical MMA to multi-faceted missions− Police reform, RoL reform− Monitoring− SSR− New areas (aviation security, maritime capacity building, CT)

Diversification of civilian CSDP

• Planning – scope of action and level of ambition• Availability of EU MS capabilities• Differences of interest amongst the 28 EU MS• External pressure/public expectations• Local buy-in and ownership• Local absorption capacity• Equipment and infrastructure

Conditions for success and challenges

• Security conditions• Co-ordination with others & comprehensive approach

– within EU (Missions, EC, EUSR, EU MS) => EEAS added value– with IC partners (NATO, UN, USA, AU, etc)

• Mission Support Constraints– Force Generation – Quality & Quantity – Financial crisis– Commission funding/ procurement (double chain of command)– Security: Force Protection, Accommodation, Transport

• Requires a mid- to long-term effort• End State – how to measure success• Exit strategy and follow-on action

Conditions for success and challenges

• CSDP is unique• Our strength is STRENGHTENING and

Peer to Peer

• Mandates have evolved vertically and substantially

• CSDP needs to be part of a bigger picture

• Capacity building is a long-term effort
