European Union
In October 2004, the European Union heads of
government signed a "constitutional treaty" that offers
possibilities - with some limits - for increased defense and
security cooperation. If ratified, in a process that may take some
two years, this treaty will in effect make operational the European
Security and Defense Policy (ESDP) approved in the 2000 Nice Treaty.
Despite limits of cooperation for some EU members, development of a
European military planning unit is likely to continue. So is
creation of a rapid-reaction military force and a humanitarian aid
system, which the planning unit will support. France, Germany,
Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Italy continue to press for
wider coordination. The five-nation Eurocorps - created in 1992 by
France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, and Luxembourg - has already
deployed troops and police on peacekeeping missions to
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Macedonia, and the Democratic Republic of Congo
and assumed command of the International Security Assistance Force
(ISAF) in Afghanistan in August 2004. Eurocorps directly commands
the 5,000-man Franco-German Brigade and the Multinational Command
Support Brigade and will command EUFOR, which will take over from
SFOR in Bosnia in December 2004. Other troop contributions are under
national command - committments to provide 67,100 troops were made
at the Helsinki EU session in 2000. Some 56,000 EU troops were
actually deployed in 2003. In August 2004, the new European Defense
Agency, tasked with promoting cooperative European defense
capabilities, began operations. As of November 2004, Germany, the
United Kingdom, and France had proposed creation of three 1,500-man
rapid-reaction "battle groups."
