Opening up today& #39;s #FoEDebate at the #SecJam, @policefederale’s Saad Amrani comments on the systemic risks facing the #EU, and calls for the development of strategic #foresight.
At today& #39;s #SecJam #FoEDebate, @GermanyNATO Amb. Hans-Dieter Lucas highlights three areas where the #EU & #NATO can work together against #COVID19:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Keycap digit one" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit one"> tackling disinformation,
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Keycap digit two" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit two"> increasing solidarity, and
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three"> enhancing practical cooperation.
#Disinformation campaigns present a serious threat to democratic societies. @HybridCoE& #39;s Teija Tiilikainen argues that the EU will need to develop its strategic communication to remain resilient. #SecJam #FoEDebate
The concept of & #39;strategic #autonomy& #39; has been at the heart of many EU security debates. To achieve this, General Sir Rupert Smith suggests an autonomous EU Command, Control and Information System and EU forces with a joint expeditionary capability. #SecJam #FoEDebate
The US and the EU have not always seen eye to eye on #COVID19. How can we mend ties? Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola calls for a renewed approach to transatlantic relations, moving towards a new political and military strategic partnership. #FoEDebate #SecJam
While many #EU member states faced #Corona with national policies, Amb. Veronika Wand-Danielsson explains how the EU can come out stronger through new digital solutions and increased research cooperation. #SecJam #FoEDebate
We are stronger together than we are alone. Director @iaionline @NathalieTocci insists that - faced with the enormity of global challenges - "hibernation is not an option for European foreign policy". #SecJam #FoEDebate
Devising a global response to #COVID19 has been no easy task. Angela Kane of @VCDNP & @sciencespo highlights that UN Secretary-General Guterres has called for a global ceasefire, a debt moratorium and sanctions relief, but UNSC divides have hindered action. #SecJam #FoEDebate
#Cybersecurity is of the utmost importance during these #COVID19 times.

With the new challenges posed by #COVID19, CTBTO Head Lassina Zerbo ( @SinaZerbo) calls on the EU to promote:
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Keycap digit one" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit one"> a global platform for science diplomacy, and
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Keycap digit two" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit two"> the adoption & entry into force of multilateral agreements for global peace and security. #SecJam #FoEDebate
How can we strengthen resilience against terrorism? Gilles de Kerchove, EU Counter-Terrorism Coordinator, calls for continued efforts against online terrorist content and concrete action to prevent the rise of new forms of violent extremism. #SecJam #FoEDebate
If the #EU wants to get out of this crisis stronger than it went in, Amb. Rolf Nikel ( @Amb_Niemiec), suggests
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="1⃣" title="Keycap digit one" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit one"> a recovery that serves European strategic interests,
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="2⃣" title="Keycap digit two" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit two"> a stronger industrial policy,
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="3⃣" title="Keycap digit three" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit three"> focus on resilience,
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="4⃣" title="Keycap digit four" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit four"> solidarity &
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="5⃣" title="Keycap digit five" aria-label="Emoji: Keycap digit five"> external cohesion. #SecJam #FoEDebate
To tackle the current crisis,
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🇱🇹" title="Flag of Lithuania" aria-label="Emoji: Flag of Lithuania"> Lithuanian Minister of Defence Mr. Raimundas Karoblis ( @Lithuanian_MoD) proposes the #EU adopt a policy of responsibility through defence commitments, resilience through strategic autonomy, and readiness through R&D. #SecJam #FoEDebate
How can the EU ensure that #COVID19 does not put too heavy a strain on member states& #39; supply chains? @eu_near& #39;s Deputy Director-General, Maciej Popowski, calls for building resilience into the European response to the crisis. #SecJam #FoEDebate
The #COVID19 crisis has brought about new challenges for our military forces. @EUROMILeurope President Emanuel Jacob ( @EmmanuelJacob13) highlights the need for leaders to find the right balance between security, health and economic considerations. #SecJam #FoEDebate
We are seeing a decline in trust, with states choosing military competition over cooperation. UN Under-Secretary-General Izumi Nakamitsu ( @INakamitsu) calls on the EU to advocate restraint and dialogue, and show leadership in the next NPT Review Conference #SecJam #FoEDebate
Nuclear proliferation is still a threat in #COVID19 times. Marjolijn van Deelen ( @MJvanDeelen) warns that the risk of miscalculation could increase due to less interpersonal contact. The EU needs to invest in strong security and support multilateral solutions. #SecJam #FoEDebate
#COVID19 has exposed the need to refocus security priorities. Executive Director of ICAN ( @nuclearban) Beatrice Fihn ( @BeaFihn) notes that governments waste billions on nuclear weapons every year. Why not refocus those resources on health, education or climate? #SecJam #FoEDebate
