The Military Committee, which assists and gives military advice to NATO's top decision-making civilian bodies, has just held one of its three meetings organised every year at Chiefs of Staff (CHODS) level. On 15 May, Chiefs of Staff from NATO member countries held a first meeting, followed by a NATO-Ukraine meeting in the afternoon. The following day, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council Military Committee convened and a NATO-Russia Permanent Joint Council at CHODS level was held afterwards.

At a press conference, the Chairman of the Military Committee, Admiral Guido Venturoni, explained that the military representatives of NATO's member and partner countries had discussed a series of issues including:

  • operations in the Balkans and the six month review of SFOR and KFOR operations;
  • the evolution of the situation in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia1;
  • the development of the European Security and Defence Identity and the organisation, in the coming weeks, of the first joint meeting between NATO's Military Committee and the EU's newly established Military Committee;
  • NATO's force structure review and the selection, by next year, of a range of graduated high readiness headquarters that will be able to respond to crisis management operations (see NATO Update 8-14 November 2000);
  • Recent developments in the debate on the procurement of an Air Ground Surveillance system for NATO, which will also be raised at the meetings of Defence Ministers on 7-8 June;
  • Cooperation with Russia and Ukraine in the Balkans and prospects for future cooperation, including the development of cooperation with Russia in Search and Rescue at Sea.

This meeting is one of the two meetings to be held at NATO HQ in Brussels, the third meeting at Chiefs of Staff level is organised in a host country.
