Summary:Report prepared by Sauli Niinistö and published by the European Commission on 30 October 2024, addressing civilian and military preparedness in the European Union (EU). Further information:The geopolitical and security landscape has changed considerably over the last years, and it is marked by increased risk and uncertainty. The EU and its Member States face multi-dimensional, complex and cross-border threats and crises. Strengthening preparedness aims at having a dissuasive effect on threat actors, lowering residual risks, addressing the sense of uncertainty among citizens and contributing to the fundamental preconditions for economic prosperity and competitiveness. In this context, the President of the European Commission and the EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy tasked the former Finnish President Sauli Niinistö to prepare a report assessing the complex challenges that the EU and its Member States face and to develop recommendations on how to enhance the EU’s civilian and military preparedness and readiness for future crises. Mr Niinistö delivered the report in his capacity as special adviser to the President of the European Commission. The report underlines the need for an ambitious new approach to our preparedness and readiness. To this end, it presents around 80 recommendations for both short-term and medium to long-term actions. |
