Abstract

The modern reality indicates that it is imperative for the European Union (hereafter EU) to establish an independent European Intelligence Service - something more than a heterogeneous European information network. New threats, internal and external, have acutely reshaped the international security landscape. The foundation of a new Intelligence Body could effectively contribute to the prevention, management, and timely response to threats, thereby significantly strengthening the resilience of the EU. Although important steps have been taken, existing Organisations and networks in the security and information field within the European framework present imperfections and deficiencies in many areas and for different reasons. These issues make them dysfunctional and possibly incapable to face the modern security challenges. Presenting the main security issues, examining the existing European architecture in the security and intelligence sector, analysing the long standing and deeply rooted obstacles that delay and hinder the achievement of such an initiative - the establishment of a European Intelligence Service within the Common Foreign and Security Policy (hereafter CFSP) framework - and the incentives for the next stage, this master thesis argues for the necessity of reshaping the model of European information cooperation into a legally and politically independent central Body, responsible for the collection, analysis and management of information and data. This project is a challenge, not only for the member states, that will be directly affected, but also for the EU itself as an entity that is moving towards a more integrated form. At this point, it is mentioned that, although it is a reasonable question and a significant aspect of the main topic, this paper does not revolve around operational and technical issues, but the central axis of this study is the current situation and the changes needed to be considered at an institutional level.
