CFSP and CSDP: Main aspects and basic choices (Art 36 TEU)

This procedure focuses on defining the core goals and strategic directions of the European Union's common foreign and security policy (CFSP) and common security and defence policy (CSDP). It aims to establish a unified approach to how the EU protects its interests and promotes peace and stability globally.

This affects the EU's diplomatic relations and military cooperation. It specifically addresses how the Union coordinates its security efforts alongside international partners like NATO and the Western European Union.
