It also contributes to Trans-Atlantic burden sharing. A stronger EU and a stronger NATO are mutually reinforcing. Within European Union coexist three types of defense planning: the national planning of each of the Member States, NATO planning (NDPP - NATO Defense Planning Process) and the European Union’s planning. Is there any coherence between these processes? Is it possible that these different planning systems to coexist? What are their strengths and weaknesses? Answering these questions is essential making the most out of limited national resources while maximizing its outcomes.
