  • The military of the European Union today comprises the several national armed forces of the Union's 27 member states, as the area of defence is primarily the domain of nation states. European integration has however been deepened in this field in recent years, with the framing of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as well as the creation of separate international forces revolving around the EU's defence. A number of CSDP military operations have been deployed in recent years.

abstract
  • The military of the European Union today comprises the several national armed forces of the Union's 27 member states, as the area of defence is primarily the domain of nation states. European integration has however been deepened in this field in recent years, with the framing of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) as well as the creation of separate international forces revolving around the EU's defence. A number of CSDP military operations have been deployed in recent years. Several prominent leaders, including German Angela Merkel, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Italian Foreign Minister Franco Frattini and former Belgian Prime Minister Guy Verhofstadt, have voiced support for a common defence for the Union. This possibility was formally laid down in Article 42 of the Treaty on European Union upon the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon on 1 December 2009. Additionally, the Treaty of Lisbon extended the enhanced co-operation provision to become available for application in the area of defence. This mechanism enables a minimum number of member states to deepen integration within the EUs institutional framework, without the necessity of participation for reluctant member states. The Polish government has announced its intention of examining the possibility of applying this provision in the area of defence during its Presidency of the Council of the European Union in the second half of 2011.[citation needed]
