We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Breakfast Briefing on Wednesday, 11 December 2019. On the occasion of the second anniversary of the activation of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO), and one day before the European Council Summit, the European Movement International will hold a panel discussion :


EU Security and Defence: State of play & Future Challenges
at The Office (rue d'Arlon 80) Brussels
on Wednesday, 11 December 2019 (08:00-09:15)


This panel of experts will give their insights on the status and future ambitions of EU security and defence cooperation. It will be a good opportunity to discuss the latest developments of the EU/US relations and the potential implications of a post-Brexit scenario within the framework of a deeper European defence integration.

After the initial discussion, attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session.
