Summary/Abstract: Basing the EU’s policy towards North Korea on pressure in recent years has not only brought positive results, but also reduced the already limited European influence on the Korean Peninsula. Announcements of a more ambitious EU’s policy on the global stage and a deadlock in both inter-Korean dialogue and negotiations between North Korea and the U.S. facilitate the introduction of changes in the EU’s approach to North Korea. A European political and economic commitment could help to stabilise the peninsula and strengthen the EU’s credibility as an organisation working on international security.
