Security and Defence Subcommittee (SEDE) - European Parliament

On 25 April, SEDE Members will exchange views with the Minister of Defence of Moldova, Anatolie NOSATÎI. The debate will focus on the consequences of Russian war of aggression against Ukraine for Moldova, including the danger posed by Russian proxy political agitators and the presence of large stocks of ammunition and 1,500 Russian soldiers in Transnistria.
In order to counter massive Russian disinformation campaigns aimed at destabilising the country and change the political order, Members will also exchange views with the Minister NOSATÎI on the prospects of a new CSDP partnership mission (EUPM Moldova), which should contribute to enhancing the resilience of Moldova's security sector in the areas of crisis management as well as hybrid threats.

On 20 March, SEDE and ITRE Members will consider amendments to the proposal on the Joint Defence Procurement instrument, known as "EDIRPA". By incentivising Member States to procure defence products jointly, the instrument will facilitate the procurement of the most urgent and critical defence capability gaps whilst also strengthening the European defence industrial base.
Two in camera debates will also take place with SEDE Members on the same day: the Holistic Strategic Review of CSDP support to Somalia and a debrief on the outcome of the Informal Meeting of European Defence Ministers that took place on 7-8 March in Stockholm.

With more and more disinformation campaigns targeting the EU and its institutions in recent years, Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) missions and operations have also been subject to such attacks. While this analysis did not identify systematic disinformation campaigns against the EU CSDP missions and operations, it does not imply that the CSDP missions and operations are not on the radar of the malign actors creating and disseminating disinformation. In fact, their activities are occasionally used by malign actors to feed into their campaigns intended to undermine the EU and its allies, which constitute the main target of these campaigns.
