3.1: EAPC
Strengthen routine and crisis consultations with EAPC partners as provided for under Paragraph 8 of the PfP framework document.
Stakeholder(s):
- Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC): The Partnership for Peace (PfP) and the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council (EAPC). The PfP and the EAPC provide the framework
for NATO's cooperation with partners in Europe and Eurasia. The former, established in 1994, has been the principal means
for forging security links, while the EAPC was created several years later to provide a parallel political dialogue. Although
the PfP is widely judged a success, the EAPC has not been used to its fullest potential. The Council was designed to enable
NATO to conduct consultations with partner countries on political and security issues, but many participants complain that
EAPC discussions are overly stilted and formal.
