Paragraph 15
15. Considers that the capabilities for the Union`s security and defence could be improved by making better use of the existing frameworks of defence and military cooperation such as the European multinational high readiness corps HQs and the EU battlegroups; believes that this will contribute to the continuous transformation of national armed forces, towards the goal of being more interoperable, more sustainable, more flexible and more deployable; invites the Council to investigate, for example, the feasibility of potentially setting-up a permanent Spearhead Europe Force, which could be drawing on the European multinational high readiness corps HQ in Strasbourg, Szczecin and Münster; considers that the EU battle groups should grow into full-scale brigades and should be assigned to the corps HQ on a permanent basis;
