Strategies

1. EU SECURITY STRATEGY

The European security strategy was drawn up under the authority of the
EU's High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy,
Javier Solana, and adopted by the Brussels European Council of 12 and
13 December 2003. It identifies the global challenges and key threats
to the security of the Union and clarifies its strategic objectives in
dealing with them, such as building security in the EU's neighbourhood
and promoting an international order based on effective
multilateralism. It also assesses the policy implications that these
objectives have for Europe. (source)

2. COMMON STRATEGIES

The common strategy was a CFSP legal
instrument introduced by the Amsterdam Treaty (art. 13 TEU). Only three have so far been adopted (on
Russia in June 1999, on Ukraine in December 1999 and on the
Mediterranean in June 2000). These three common strategies have since
expired. Despite the progress it seemed to make possible, this
instrument has in fact been used very little and until now has not led
to the results expected. Rather than make a unilateral affirmation of a
strategic position with regard to a given partner, Member States of the
European Union now prefer to define jointly shared objectives, as was
the case, for example, for the declaration following the EU-Russia
summit in Saint Petersburg in May 2003, which in fact stood in lieu of
a European Union strategy on Russia.(source)
