The conference is one of the EU arrangements, which prepare and support the European Council’s December Meeting dealing with defence issues. In the preparation process the foundation of the summit will be laid in the defence policy issues by the session of the defence policy directors, in the military-policy and military-technical topics by the CHODs session, and in the comprehensive defence policy questions by the Defence Ministers’ session. The European Council’s conference in December will provide a good opportunity for the Heads of State and Government of the European Union to define the directions for the Union’s future Common Security and Defence Policy.
