ANNEX
CFSP Report – Our priorities in 2016
Introduction
The High Representative presented an EU Global Strategy on Foreign and Security Policy to the European Council in June 2016. The second half of 2016 is dedicated to follow-up and implementation in the priority areas identified by the EU Global Strategy, namely on resilience building and an integrated approach to conflict and crises, security and defence and strengthening the link between internal and external policies, with attention to migration, as well as to counter terrorism. Work on implementing the strategy takes place on the basis of an HR/VP roadmap for implementation and Council conclusions in October 2016. Efforts in communication and public diplomacy, as well as to increase public resilience against information manipulation by third parties and anti-EU messages, to reach EU citizens as well as the publics of third countries are also being stepped up.
