Abstract


The new century has confirmed the existence of new dangers: transnational terrorism, massive destruction weapons along with the weakening of some states which are nearly broken down. By the end of 2003, the Council of Europe laid the foundations of the European Security Strategy (ESS), and the European Policy for Common Security (EPCS) along with the PESD. The Council defined the geographic areas and the institutional military actors such as the Military Committee of the EU (EUMC) and the EU Military General Staff (EUMGS). Another key element is the European Agency for the Defense. The military capabilities and the Battlegroups (BGs) are studied too.
