The CHODs welcomed the presentations and expressed their contentment with the role of the EUMC in providing military input and expertise to the political discussions.<\/p>\n<p>Then the Director General of the European Union Military Staff, Vice Admiral Herv\u00e9 Bl\u00e9jean updated the CHODs on EU battlegroups. They acknowledged that the lack of contribution in the EU Battlegroups roster may hamper the EU\u00b4s capacity to act in a rapid-response situation. They recognised the need for an urgent viable solution to give more appeal to the EU Battlegroups.<\/p>\n<p>A specific session was dedicated to the CSDP military missions and operations during which the Operation Commander of EUNAVFOR MED IRINI, Rear Admiral Fabio Agostini,\u00a0 the Operation Commander of EUFOR ALTHEA, Lieutenant General Brice Houdet and the Operation Commander of EUNAVFOR ATALANTA Vice Admiral Jose M. Nu\u00f1ez Torrente briefed the Chiefs of Defence. Given the current shortfalls, CHODs recalled the urgent need for member states to provide CSDP Missions and Operations with adequate resources, personnel, assets and logistics, in line with the political level of ambition.<\/p>\n<p>Successively, the Chairman of NATO military committee, Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach, joined the session on the EU-NATO cooperation, reinforcing, once again, the strong and further increasing linkage between EU and NATO. CHODs recognised the need to take advantage of the concomitant developments of the EU Strategic Compass and NATO 2030 initiative, as a framework for improving the cooperation between the two organisations.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, more than 350 participants from Member States, EU institutions, industry, academia and think tanks joined the high-level online symposium on &#8220;Military Mobility: transforming ambition into reality&#8221;, co-organised by the Portuguese Presidency of the Council of the European Union and the EDA.

The EU should promote its interests and values and be able to tackle global security threats and challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Against this background, an ambitious and actionable\u00a0<strong>Strategic Compass\u00a0<\/strong>will enhance and guide the implementation of the level of ambition on security and defence. The Council therefore calls on the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy to<strong>\u00a0present a first draft of the Strategic Compass\u00a0<\/strong>for discussion at the Council<strong>\u00a0meeting in November 2021<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The Council calls for further work to enhance the EU&#8217;s capacity to undertake CSDP missions and operations across the whole spectrum of different crisis management tasks. The Council also encourages further reflection on a<strong>\u00a0timely and efficient decision-making process<\/strong>, possibly using Article 44 of the TEU. More work should be done on ways to incentivise member states to improve force generation and provide sufficient means and personnel for CSDP missions and operations.<\/p>\n<p>The conclusions underline the importance of\u00a0<strong>strengthening EU defence initiatives<\/strong>, like Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP), and other initiatives such as the Action Plan on synergies between civil, defence and space industries, while ensuring\u00a0<strong>coherence<\/strong>\u00a0in the use of the various tools.<\/p>\n<p>The need to further strengthen the EU\u2019s resilience and ability to counter\u00a0<strong>hybrid threats<\/strong>\u00a0is also strongly emphasised.<\/p>\n<p>A strong EU in terms of security and defence will bring tangible benefits to transatlantic and global cooperation.
