Implementation of the common foreign and security policy – annual report 2022

Summary:

Annual report produced by the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs concerning the implementation of the European Union's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP).

Further information:

The report stresses that the return of full-scale war to the European continent, economic instability and the Russia’s deliberate instrumentalisation of energy volatility have resulted in immediate geopolitical uncertainty for citizens of the European Union (EU), candidate Member States and prospective candidate Member States, as well as for partners around the world. It argues that the situation galvanised the momentum towards achieving a geopolitical redefinition of the CFSP and EU external action in general. It urges EU action to become stronger, more ambitious, strategic and unified.

This report was adopted by the European Parliament's Committee on Foreign Affairs on 9 December 2022 and endorsed by the plenary on 18 January 2023.
