The European Union is set to discuss a blueprint to create a military joint intervention force by 2025 and ensure it can be deployed without a unanimous decision by all member states, according to a draft document seen by Bloomberg.
The proposed roadmap setting out the so-called Strategic Compass, which focuses on global security and defense priorities, will be formally submitted to a meeting of foreign ministers on Nov. 15 by the bloc’s foreign affairs chief, Josep Borrell.
