Spotlight on the future of European defence Attempts to move towards a common defence have been part of the European project since its inception, but a genuine defence union has not yet materialised. A Europe that defends clearly corresponds with European citizens’ expectations, with security as one of the top concerns of Europeans in almost all countries. There is also an overwhelming economic case for greater cooperation on defence spending. Combined with a worsening security situation in Europe’s neighbourhood, it is clear that it is time for Europe to take its defence and security into its own hands. In this context, the European Commission has just published its Reflection paper on the future of European defence — the fourth of five reflection papers announced in the White paper on the future of Europe. Its aim is to outline different scenarios on how to address the growing security and defence threats facing Europe, including cyber threats, and enhance Europe's own abilities in defence. To provide more background information for this important discussion, the Publications Office presents a selection of recent titles on various aspects of European defence.
