Comprehensive Approach
The ability of the European Union to have a comprehensive approach to Crisis Management Operations CMOs (meaning the ability of civilian and military elements of the EU to work together in the frame of CSDP operations) and its related capability represents a unique possibility that should be explored to the greatest possible extent.
The CDP highlights the importance of comprehensive approach at all levels and activities in crisis management; it is an over-arching enabler/driver that always should be taken into account.
For EDA, comprehensive approach implies active participation in many related initiatives, be they in the Research, Industrial, Armament or Capability – related areas. An important subset of the comprehensive approach is the on-going work on Civil Military synergies, aimed at bringing more coherence and efficiency in operational and capability related aspects. The need for having comprehensive approach as a priority has been accentuated by the updated CDP.
