            COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2018/340
of 6 March 2018
         
establishing the list of projects to be developed under PESCO


THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, in particular Article 46(6) thereof;


Having regard to Council Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315 of 11 December 2017 establishing permanent structured cooperation (PESCO) and determining the list of participating Member States (1),


Having regard to the proposal from the Federal Republic of Germany, the Kingdom of Spain, the French Republic and the Italian Republic,

Whereas:







(1)


On 11 December 2017, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315.












(2)


Article 4(2)(e) of that Decision provides that the Council is to adopt a decision or recommendation establishing the list of projects to be developed under permanent structured cooperation (PESCO), reflecting both support for capability development and the provision of substantial support within means and capabilities to Common Security and Defence Policy operations and missions.












(3)


On 11 December 2017, the Member States participating in PESCO adopted a declaration identifying an initial list of 17 projects to be undertaken under PESCO, based on project proposals which had been presented. That declaration was adopted with a view towards a formal decision to be taken by the Council in early 2018 in accordance with Article 46(6) of the Treaty on European Union and Article 5 of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315.












(4)


The second subparagraph of Article 5(2), of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315 provides that the list of the project members of each individual project is to be attached to the Council decision referred to in Article 4(2)(e).












(5)


To ensure consistency, the implementation of all PESCO projects will be based on the common set of governance rules for projects, including, inter alia, rules on the role of observers if appropriate, to be adopted pursuant to Article 4(2)(f) of Decision (CFSP) 2017/2315, and which the participating Member States taking part in an individual project could adapt as necessary for that project.

The Council should therefore adopt a decision establishing the list of projects to be developed under PESCO,
