The EU-NATO Joint Declaration in July 2016 and the 42 Implementation Action Points of December 2016 have re-energised the relationship between the two institutions. For the first time in over a decade, this represents a significant step forward for their cooperation. Building on consultations with experts and officials from the EU and NATO and their member states the ELN assesses the progress made since summer 2016. It takes two key areas of the Joint Declaration as case studies: exercising and capacity building, through which it identifies achievable opportunities for further EU-NATO cooperation. The report concludes that further constructive and pragmatic development of the EU-NATO relationship is possible despite the political constraints. Member states should raise ambitions for the two institutions to not just cooperate - working together on goals which happen to overlap- but to collaborate - working together towards a common goal. |
