EU countries in NATO. Part I

Abstract

According to the Clingendael Report – New Treats, New EU and NATO responses – from July 2015 issued by the Netherlands Institute of International Relations, the changes in the security environment of Europe ask for a prudent response from the part of EU and NATO member countries. Since the adoption of NATO’s new Strategic Concept at the Lisbon Summit in November 2010, which identifies the need for the Alliance to address emerging security challenges, several new areas of cooperation with the EU are taking place, besides strategic issues, political consultation, capabilities and terrorism, in particular energy security issues and cyber defense.
