The EU in a changed security environment

The EUISS organised a conference at the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels on 21 April which gathered a number of think tankers, academics and EU and national officials to debate the rapidly-changed global security environment. A general introduction by EUISS Director Antonio Missiroli was followed by a broad presentation of the Strategic Review process by Nathalie Tocci, Deputy Director, Istituto Affari Internazionali and Special Adviser to HR/VP Federica Mogherini. Her presentation can be downloaded on this page. Following input from the audience, there was a first session wrap-up intervention by Alain Le Roy, Secretary-General of the European External Action Service. After collecting questions and comments from those in attendance, High Representative Mogherini then offered her take on the Strategic Review. Maximum interaction with the audience was encouraged throughout the conference so as to ensure an extensive exchange of views with the HR/VP. (Photographs ©Bernal Revert).
