On 20 November, European Defence Ministers approved the first ever annual Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD).
“CARD provides the first ever comprehensive defence review conducted at EU level, analysing the European landscape in the short, medium and long term”, explained the Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency, Jiří Šedivý, to journalists, including EUROPE. He believes that if properly understood and used, this review could be a game changer in the long run.
