Abstract

The Treaty of European Union (the Maastricht Treaty) of February 1992 states that one of the objectives of the EU is ‘to assert its identity on the international scene, in particular through the implementation of a common foreign and security policy which shall include the eventual framing of a common defence policy’. This provision points to a target far beyond the co-ordination and co-operation of national policies. The objective is the denationalisation of the foreign and security policies of the EU members1. Moreover, the aims of the European Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), as envisaged in the Maastricht Treaty, go beyond the traditional conception of foreign and security policy. They emphasise safeguarding the values and interests and strengthening the security of the EU, consolidating democracy, and maintaining respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms.
