Summary/Abstract: EU has a permanent military planning capability, but does the EU need it? As long as EU has ambitions to launch autonomous operations and missions in pursuit of its political objectives, which need to be monitored and possibly extended or refocused, the answer is yes. Is there any risk that such a capability duplicate existing NATO similar capabilities, thus undermining NATO core task and security guarantee of collective defence? This paper makes a short presentation of EU Military Planning and Conduct Capability’s role and competencies by comparing it to NATO similar structures and brings forward a few arguments in support of non-duplication thesis.
