Common strategy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The common strategy was a legal act of European law until the Lisbon Treaty .

The European Council determined the strategic interests and goals of the European Union within the framework of the common foreign and security policy in accordance with Article 13 of the EU Treaty (as amended by the Treaty of Amsterdam ) by means of a common strategy . According to the Lisbon Treaty, the European Council lays down the strategic interests and goals in a resolution in accordance with Article 26 of the EU Treaty . The Council of the European Union could or can give the European Council a non-binding recommendation to define the strategic interests and goals of the CFSP.

The common strategies (or the decisions that replace them) concern areas in which there are important common interests of the Member States of the European Union . The European Council defines the objective, duration and the funds to be made available by the European Union and the Member States. These decisions are implemented by the Council of the European Union, made up of foreign ministers. To this end, the Council adopts special resolutions that correspond to the previous joint actions and common positions . The decisions taken are binding on member states depending on their character and formulation.
