cfsp
As with most countries, the Netherlands began as a result of a crusade to escape religious constraints and in this case it happened to be Spain and the Catholic Church. The Protestants that left Spain coincided with the Protestant revolt against the Roman Catholic church. Riots were spreading everywhere. When King Philip sent troops to enforce the Catholic church, open riots were the result. In 1579, an alliance of all the northern towns and some southern towns was formed. This alliance was known as the Union of Utrecht. Two years later the Union proclaimed its independence from Spain. Sixty-seven years after the alliance Spain recognized the Dutch Republic as a sovereign nation. The territories that did not join the Union later became Belgium.The Netherlands has suffered many hardships with the results of war. During World War I the blockades prevented trade to continue which made the Netherlands economy very fragile. With the occupation by Germany during World War II, the Netherlands suffered a lot of destruction. The Netherlands has taken a very active role in the advancement of the CFSP (Common Foreign Security Policy). This country believes that it is one of the original members
Since many of the member countries have began to decrease their defense budget many of those member countries are more enthusiastic about a CFSP. TO the Dutch, security is more important than things like healthcare and maybe even agriculture. It also proposes restricting the use of the current unanimity system and introducing a system of 'unanimity minus one', which should become the general rule except where the vital interests of a Member State are at a stake, in which case the unanimity rule should continue to apply. However, all members should help to finance such action. The IGC should prepare the ground for full integration. The change could in other words be the outcome of proposals previously mentioned, rather thant he result of an internal dynamic of integration or of the emergence of clearly coherent interests in foreign policy. These two branches of the military will work along with NATO in joint missions unless the situation is solely in the EU or if it is outside the member countries of NATO. Reciprocal security guarantees as a factor in the common defense policy, although NATO should retain practical powers. In order to make the CFSP more effective, the Netherlands proposes ideas for the capacity for analysis and the decision making system. The first branch of the military will be the Serenity Legion involved in only peace missions, and the second will be the muscle for the times that need physical force which will be known as the European Corps. The Netherlands proposed changes for the capacity for analysis suggests that the Inter-Governmental Council (IGC) could either choose to strengthen the unit responsible for the CFSP in the Council secretariat or establish a separate analysis and planning independent structure headed by a senior official appointed by the Council with the Commission's agreement, who would deal exclusively with the CFSP and would act as a driving force behind that policy. The finances will come from the current EU budget. When we get a defense policy the EU will have to work within the infrastructure of NATO. Financing of common actions by the Community budget.
