Intelligence Cooperation in the European Union: A Necessity More than Ever?

Öz

This article examines EU’s renewed interest in intelligence cooperation in response to changing European security environment. The initiatives for intelligence sharing at the European level have their origins in the 1970s, notably with the establishment of the Club of Berne. With the establishment of Common Foreign and Security Policy, the EU developed intelligence mechanisms for assisting EU policy makers on foreign policy issues. Cooperation in intelligence sharing and the operationalisation of a united and joint intelligence structure is a difficult task because member states are reluctant to take part in intelligence cooperation owing to problems of trust and bureaucratic inertia. Nevertheless, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, cracks in transatlantic alliance and rising hybrid threats necessitated strengthening of EU’s security structure and bolstering of intelligence cooperation. In this regard, former Finnish President Sauli Niinisto’s recent report, calling for the establishment of a full-fledged intelligence cooperation among member states for supplementing national intelligence services, sparked a debate on deeper intelligence cooperation at the EU level. This article contends that although establishment of a single autonomous EU intelligence agency is unlikely in the near future, strengthening of European intelligence cooperation and improvement of EU’s intelligence capacities is a necessity more than ever.
