With growing instability and armed conflicts at its doors, the EU is facing increasing numbers of terrorist attacks and elevated security threats. It has now reached a stage where the line between what is “internal” and “external” security is blurred.
In order to prevent and face further attacks, military forces are increasingly deployed inside the borders of some European countries. While this seems like a reassuring short-term solution, it raises many legal and political questions: Under which conditions is the deployment of military personnel inside the country legal? Which specific tasks may or may not be performed by the military? Is the military trained and equipped to perform police-like security tasks? Which additional training is necessary?
These and many more are the questions to be debated with the participants. The speakers will tackle these issues from a legal, political and a military personnel’s perspective.
Welcome:
Klaus Heeger, Secretary General of CESI
Emmanuel Jacob, President of EUROMIL
Discussion with the participation of:
Colonel Erwin Hoogland, Dutch Ministry of Defence
N.N., Belgian Representative (tbc)
Thomas Sohst, German Armed Forces Association
Moderation:
Klaus Heeger, Secretary General of CESI
Conclusions:
Michael Gahler, Member of the European Parliament
