Aníbal Villalba Fernández Commitments and cooperation in this area shall be consistent with commitments under the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, which, for those States which are members of it, remains the foundation of their collective defence and the forum for its implementation. In this connection, in its report on the function of NATO in the EU security architecture, the European Parliament acknowledges the essential role that NATO has played and continues to play in the latter. It points out that for most of the Member States, which are also NATO members, the Alliance continues to be the cornerstone of their common defence and that European security as a whole continues to benefit from the maintenance of the transatlantic alliance. It thus considers that the future collective defence of the EU should be organised in cooperation with NATO as far as possible (17). The special case of the Solidarity Clause The Treaty of Lisbon states that the Union and its Member States shall act jointly in a spirit of solidarity if a Member State is the object of a terrorist attack or the victim of a natural or man-made disaster. The Union shall mobilise all the instruments at its disposal, including the military resources made available by the Member States, to: a) prevent the terrorist threat in the territory of the Member States; protect democratic institutions and the civilian population from any terrorist attack; and assist a Member State in its territory, at the request of its political authorities, in the event of a terrorist attack; b) assist a Member State in its territory, at the request of its political authorities, in the event of a natural or man-made disaster. The arrangements for the implementation by the Union of the solidarity clause shall be defined by a decision adopted by the Council acting on a joint proposal by the Commission and the HR. The Council shall act unanimously where this decision has defence implications. In addition, the European Parliament shall be informed. The Council shall be assisted by the Political and Security Committee with the support of the structures developed in the context of the CSDP and by a standing committee in charge of ensuring that operational cooperation on internal (17) VATANEN, ARI (Rapporteur). «Report on the role of NATO in the security architecture of the EU», EP (2008/2197(INI)). Committee on Foreign Affairs. European Parliament, 28 January. http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-// EP//NONSGML+REPORT+A6-2009-0033+0+DOC+PDF+V0//EN — 169 —
The Treaty of Lisbon and the common security and defence policy security is promoted and strengthened within the Union. Furthermore, the European Council shall regularly assess the threats the Union faces. It should be pointed out that although the Solidarity Clause provides for the use of military means and refers to the assistance of the PSC and the support of the structures created in the context of the Common Security and Defence Policy, it is not part of the CSDP and is separate from the section of the Treaty dealing with it. Nevertheless, the explicit use of military means and the mechanisms of the CSDP and the obligation of the European Council to assess terrorist-related threats link this Solidarity Clause to the areas of security and defence, which could lead to the establishment of coordination mechanisms or other types of political and technical routes yet to be explored. THE SPANISH PRESIDENCY OF THE COUNCIL On 1 January 2010 Spain took over the six-month Presidency of the Council of the European Union for the fourth time. On this occasion the Spanish Presidency needs to give impetus to the EU’s transition process designed by the Treaty of Lisbon. This requires the Spanish Presidency to be one of transition to the new model. The Presidency trio. Spain, Belgium and Hungary When the Treaty of Lisbon entered into force on 1 December 2009, the first Presidency trio formed by Spain, Belgium and Hungary presented the common programme for the 18-month period in which the three nations are to hold this responsibility, lasting from 1 January 2010 to 30 June 2011. The Treaty of Lisbon requires that the three Presidencies coordinate between themselves and with the new President of the European Council, Herman Van Rompuy, and the High Representative, Catherine Ashton, who will chair the Foreign Affairs Council. In addition, the directives of the new Commission should be taken into account, based on the political guidelines established by the President of the Commission in September 2009. All this will be in coordination with the European Parliament whose role has been reinforced. The programme of the Presidency trio states that enhancing security levels in the European Union will continue to be a main priority. In this — 170 —
