Committee on Security & Defence
Against a background of geostrategic turbulence – emerging military powers, an ongoing terrorist threat, armed conflicts in the EU’s immediate neighborhood, the rise of hybrid warfare and cyber-attacks against EU strategic infrastructure – security and defence have risen to the top of the EU’s political agenda.
The remit of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence is to provide a forum for thorough public debate on, and detailed parliamentary scrutiny of, all EU action in the area of the CSDP, whether it concerns institutions, capabilities or operations. SEDE intends to make an active contribution to the formulation of EU security and defence policy. Central to SEDE’s future activities will be the work of building closer relations with strategic partners, including NATO and the UN, and with third countries which are advocates of multilateralism and an international order that promotes peace.
The SEDE Subcommittee is an interesting choice for participants willing to challenge themselves, dealing with the complex issues of the Union’s Security & Defense. The big challenge of this committee is to manage to agree on a certain common policy, given the fact that each member state, and of course each Political Group of the EP, has its own opinion over the EU’s competency to handle foreign policy and security issues.
