EUROPEAN COMMONWEALTH ARMY – CHALLENGE FOR A PROPER EU REGULATION

Summary/Abstract: Until ten years ago, the issue of peace and stability in Europe seemed clear, it was only sporadic and isolated topic the major security risks. As in recent years, however, Russia has become more aggressive, it is increasingly spoken in public space and diplomatic environments owing to a potential war in Europe, also taking into account the fluctuating position of the US Presidential Administration on NATO's involvement in defending military in Europe in general, and in Eastern Europe in particular. In reality, the European countries are divided into two categories: those who agree with the idea of a European Security Force, supporting the formation of a European Commonwealth Army and European military consolidation; and those who are skeptical about this idea, going to the point of rejecting it completely, bringing arguments about national sovereignty or inefficiency. At this level, executive military decisions are taken at a rapid pace and require full support from the legislature, which is why some countries are not yet ready to give the European Union the power of decision on its army. Regarding Romania, officials say that the European Security Force could meet the EU's global and security needs in those areas where it can do without hindering NATO's operation.
