Summary/Abstract: The experience of the latest years regarding crisis management has shown that the military force has proven to be extremely necessary in most situations. In these circumstances, as the author emphasises, the EU is a stringent partner for NATO by virtue of the specific combination of available instruments, such as: civil operations, sanctions, humanitarian aid, trade and development policies, political dialogue. After the ratification of the Lisbon Treaty, this will make it possible for the EU and NATO to multiply their efforts in order to develop a framework of integrated cooperation. Thus, the two organisations will be able to strengthen each other and put a practical division of labour into effect. Last but not least, the author discusses the issue of the two organisations regarding their need for deciding which one should deploy forces, this being based on the political will expressed by each of them, on the operational needs as well as on each one’s capacity to bring about peace and stability.
