The first ever meeting of NATO and the European Union at Ambassadorial level took place at the EU on 19 September. This meeting opened a new chapter in the cooperation between the two organisations that share common strategic interests and play such a crucial role in fostering security and stability in Europe.
The meeting was held in the Justus Lipsius building, where the EU Council of Ministers has its seat in Brussels. It was the first time that the implementation of the decisions on strengthening European security and defence taken by NATO and the EU in Washington, Cologne and Helsinki last year had been discussed jointly at the level of the NAC - NATO's highest decision making body- and the IPSC - the EU's Interim Political and Security Committee.
Ambassadors assessed the progress made by NATO and the EU in the context of the expert contacts on the Headline Goal implementation and the first meetings of the joint NATO-EU Ad Hoc Working Groups in the areas of security issues, Capabilities Goals, EU access to NATO assets and permanent consultation arrangements and held a fruitful discussion on the way ahead in NATO-EU relations.
