EGMONT Institute: Invitation Expert Seminar 11 February -CaMo: The Ultimate Form of Interoperability?

http://www.egmontinstitute.be/subscribe-2/#camo-the-ultimate-form-of-interoperability_11/02/2020

Event Invitation
Time: 09:30 - 13:00  (Registration from 09:00)
Venue: Orange Room of the Egmont Palace, Place du Petit Sablon, 8bis, 1000 Brussels



The CaMo partnership (Capacité Motorisée) between France and Belgium will see the total reequipment of the Belgian land forces through the acquisition of 382 Griffon multi-role armoured vehicles and 60 Jaguar reconnaissance and combat armoured vehicles, to be delivered from 2025 onwards, for a total investment of some €1.5 billion. CaMo is about much more than procurement, however. The strategic partnership between the two close allies and neighbours is driven by the shared will to deploy together on operations. For that reason, Belgium has also decided to align its doctrine, organisation and training with those that France is developing for its own land forces.
This expert seminar, co-organised by FINABEL (the European Army Interoperability Centre) and Egmont, will assess the benefits of such far-reaching cooperation for the French and Belgian forces, and explore whether it can serve as an example for other European land forces.

EGMONT Institute: Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood

  Use Connectivity to Strengthen Multilateral Cooperation in the EU’s Neighbourhood By  Sven Biscop   (15 September 2020)   In   Commentaries Asia-Pacific ,   EU and strategic partners ,   EU strategy and foreign policy ,   European defence / NATO To strengthen multilateralism in their own neighbourhood, Germany and the EU should pursue connectivity strategies with their Eastern and Southern neighbours. These could create the links between the EU’s neighbours that  previous partnership agreements have failed to establish. They should include political and security dimensions for states to feel connected to  the EU in a political sense.
