WRITTEN QUESTION E-1116/01

by Esko Sepp(cid:228)nen (GUE/NGL) to the Commission

(6 April 2001)

Subject: Enhanced cooperation on the Second Pillar

At the Nice summit a number of decisions were adopted on enhanced cooperation. How does the
Commission interpret the substance of these decisions as regards the Second Pillar? Which activities of the
Security and Defence Policy, currently in preparation in the EU, have not been included in the concept of
enhanced cooperation?

Answer given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission

(16 May 2001)

In accordance with the new Treaty of Nice, enhanced cooperation as regards the Second Pillar must
respect:

(cid:129) the principles, objectives, general guidelines and consistency of the common foreign and security

policy and the decisions taken within the framework of that policy;

(cid:129) the powers of the Community;

(cid:129) consistency between all the Union(cid:146)s policies and its external activities.

Where Member States intend to establish enhanced cooperation in respect of the Second Pillar, the
Commission, which shares responsibility with the Council for ensuring the consistency of all the Union(cid:146)s
external activities in the context of its external relations, security, economic and development policies,
must give a prior opinion on the request and forward it to the Council for decision.

Pursuant to the new Treaty of Nice, enhanced cooperation may not relate to matters having military or
defence implications. None the less, closer cooperation between one or more Member States at bilateral
level may be developed in the framework of the Western European Union (WEU) and the North Atlantic
Treaty Organisation (NATO) provided that this cooperation does not contravene or hinder the provisions
of Title V of the EU Treaty.
