The European Union
The European Union stands for political stability, security, and prosperity in Germany as well as its other member states. It has evolved into a recognised actor in international crisis management, with an increasing capacity for taking action on foreign and security policy matters. One of the primary goals of German security policy is the strengthening of the European area of stability through the consolidation and development of European integration and the European Union’s active neighbourhood policy with the states of Eastern Europe, the southern Caucasus, Central Asia, and the Mediterranean region.
