Abstract

The EU member States declared at the Cologne European Council in June 1999, their "determination to play a full role on the intemational stage and to obtaın the necessary means and capabılities regarding a coromon European policy on security and defence"* 1 and furthermore they defıned at the Helsinki Summit ın December 1999 the guidelines of a future European security and defence pohcy. The objective was to "create an autonomous capacity for the EU to take decisions and, where NATO as a whole is not engaged, to launch and then to conduct EU-led military operations in response to International crises"2.
This was a logical continuation of the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), elaborated in the Maastricht Treaty and the consequence of the Treaty of Amsterdam in which the enhancement of the CFSP, İncluding the development of a Common European Defence Policy, was announced. The Amsterdam Treaty also provided the possibility to integrate the Westem European Union (WEU) İnto the EU. The European Council of Feİra developed this security and defence project and the Nice Summit declared the advent of the European Security and Defence policy.
