European Union External Action
EU Member states have committed themselves to a Common Foreign Security Policy for the European Union.
All 28 EU member states stand united behind the Iran deal, which has been effective in limiting the country's nuclear programme.
The EU today adopted new sanctions in response to North Korea's missile programme, aiming to pressure Pyongyang into dialogue aiming at peaceful, verifiable denuclearisation. The sanctions complement and reinforce the UN Security Council sanctions, and take effect immediately.
The EU stands firm behind 2015 deal on Iran's nuclear programme. The deal makes the world safer and the EU expects all parties to stick to it and will continue to guarantee its implementation.
The EU wants to keep all local, regional and international partners engaged in finding a viable solution for Israel and Palestine, EU High Representative Mogherini said in New York.
To implement the EU Global Strategy, decisive steps have been taken on Security and Defence. The package consists of three major pillars: new political goals and ambitions for Europeans to take more responsibility for their own security and defence; new financial tools to help Member States and the European defence industry to develop defence capabilities ("European Defence Action Plan") and a set of concrete actions as follow up to the EU-NATO Joint Declaration which identified areas of cooperation. Together the three elements constitute a comprehensive package to boost security of the Union and its citizens.
