The definition of a European Security and Defense Identity (ESDI), which occupies a secondary role, is still full of difficulties, such as the existing division among Europeans on the conception and implementation of a common foreign and security policy. The author underlines that rapprochement or eventual integration between the WEU and the European Union is uncertain, since no decision has been taken on ESDI, its relation with NATO, and the future of Article V on mutual assistance of the Brussels Treaty.
