This Working Paper explores the current legal basis and governance structures of the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) and other areas with defence implications. It provides a summary of ground rules to address the boundaries of enhancing the functioning of the CSDP and reveal the possibilities that are offered by the existing legal framework. The paper emphasises that the current Treaty framework allows the use of the so-called "sleeping beauties", including the potential use of Article 44 of the Treaty on European Union. The latter may contribute to achieving the EU's strategic objectives by allowing a group of Member States to perform a task in the EU's interest. The paper also highlights recent actions taken to increase defence collaborations and industrial activities, which are expected to boost the coordination and effectiveness of EU defence policy and to foster the competitiveness of the European defence industry.

"This book examines and investigates the legitimacy of the European Union by acknowledging the importance of variation across actors, institutions, audiences, and context. Case studies reveal how different actors have contributed to the politics of (re)legitimating the European Union in response to multiple recent problems in European integration. The case studies look specifically at stakeholder interests, social groups, officials, judges, the media and other actors external to the Union. With this, the book develops a better understanding of how the politics of legitimating the Union are actor-dependent, context-dependent and problem-dependent. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of European integration, as well as those interested in legitimacy and democracy beyond the state from a point of view of political science, political sociology and the social sciences more broadly"--

This document offers recommendations for the amendment of Council Decision 2010/427/EU establishing the organisation and functioning of the European External Action Service (hereinafter 'EEAS Decision'). These recommendations have been distilled from discussions between academics and practitioners during a two-day workshop held at the European University Institute in March 2013 in the framework of the so-called 'EEAS 2.0' project. This research project is a collaboration between independent scholars brought together by SIEPS, the EUI and CEPS. In February 2013, the team published a legal commentary on the EEAS Decision, available on the websites of the participating research centres. The current paper and its recommendations should be read in the light thereof. In formulating the recommendations, attention has been paid to policy papers, non-papers and recommendations that have been initiated by EU institutions, member states, think tanks and academia, notably in the context of the on-going review. As such, we hope to be able to inform, in a precise and legal way, the discussions in preparation of the High Representative's own report. The current paper is work in progress and will be revisited for publication after the summer, taking into account the High Representative's report of July and feedback from other stakeholders The current paper sheds light on possible adjustments in the operation of the Decision/Service 'à droit constant', but also includes proposals that could be considered in the context of an amendment of the EEAS Decision. With regard to the latter, several levels of revision may be envisaged: (i) a mere toilettage (e.g. deleting out-dated provisions and securing terminological consistency), (ii) technical changes in the text without reopening the political discussion that predated the adoption of the Decision and (iii) a more ambitious revision that could require more extensive legal modifications of collateral secondary measures (e.g. Staff and/or Financial regulations), if not of the founding treaties.
