In addition to the EU's contribution to security and development - in particular through crisis prevention, conflict management and post-conflict stabilisation - Europe also has to face up to new threats to its security and to its values of democracy and liberty.
Lisaks ELi toetusele julgeolekule ja arengule – eelkõige kriiside ennetamise, konfliktide ohjamise ja konfliktijärgse stabiliseerimise abil – tuleb Euroopal toime tulla uute ohtudega oma julgeolekule ning sellistele väärtustele nagu demokraatia ja vabadus.
