Summary/Abstract: Traditionally collective security coexists with collective defence. Although security and defence are complementary in the transatlantic system, their differentiation clarifies the concepts. The paper applies security concepts to EU security to find elements of common, comprehensive security within the EU. NATO remains a common security provider. Thus, EU widens and NATO deepens the security concept. NATO-EU security however is still a matter of ad-hoc decisions, unfixed combination of adjectives.
