NOTE From : Political and Security Committee To : Permanent Representatives' Committee / Council Subject : EU Training Programme in the field of ESDP 2008 to 2010 The EU Training Programme lists training activities as they are planned by the current actors in

ESDP training. It is structured according to the different main training actors (European Security

and Defence College/ESDC, the European Police College/ CEPOL) and according to the different

ESDP areas of interest (specific civilian and civil-military training activities and training activities

in the military field including EU HQ training).

The European Community Project on training for civilian aspects of crisis management ended in

June 2007. The European Commission is currently undertaking the necessary steps to ensure

appropriate follow-up activities in 2007/2008. The relevant Council bodies and Member States will

be kept informed.

Annex 1 contains the Academic Programme of the ESDC as established and kept under review by

the ESDC Steering Committee.


Annexes 2 to 4 cover the programme for the year 2008 (to be agreed), for the year 2009 (tentatively

agreed) and for the year 2010 (envisaged). The number of participants indicated constitutes the

maximum participation for each specific course. For those courses offered by Member States, while

open in principle to all Member States, the exact scale of participation of other nationals is subject

to a decision by the respective organisers.

Regarding the national training courses, this programme in principal contains only those activities

which are both, in line with the training requirements identified and open for participation of other

nationals. Exclusively national training activities in the field of ESDP are not listed in the EU

Training Programme.
