Amendment 39 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 10
10. Reiterates its conviction that although elements of the 2003 European Security Strategy, as supplemented in 2008, remain valid, the EU needs to review and to complement this strategy by taking recent developments into account and redefining its interests and priorities, with a greater emphasis on its neighbourhood, and by dovetailing the different regional and topical sub-strategies; believes that such an exercise will provide a clearer strategic framework for external action by the EU, enhance consistency and, at the same time, communicate better to the citizens the challenges and risks facing them in the future; requests therefore that the European Council launch a debate on the appropriate strategic framework for the Union, mandate the HR/VP to come forward with proposals in this respect before the end of 2014 and ensure sustainable follow-up, subject to regular upd as primarily defined in the context of the European Security Stratesgy;

Amendment 65 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 17
17. Highlights the fact that successful military operationsoperational engagement requires a clear command and control function; underlines that the creation of a purely military operational headquarter does not provide significant added value in the current structure; reiterates therefore its call for the establishment of a permanent civilian- military operational headquarters; emphasises that a comprehensive impact assessment analysing the costs and benefits related to such a project is indispensable for any step forward; notes with regret the lack of progress on this issue and the strong resistance by some Member States; stresses further that an effective CSDP requires adequate early warning and intelligence support; considers, therefore, that these headquarters should include cells for intelligence gathering and for early warning/situational awareness;
