Dear Madam or Sir,

in the wake of terrorist attacks throughout Europe, many voices demand closer intelligence cooperation within the European Union, some of them even asking for an EU intelligence service. Intelligence activities, however, lie at the heart of state sovereignty. So how can European integration and cooperation work in this highly sensitive policy area? In our latest Working Paper Pia Philippa Seyfried discusses the potentials and limits of intelligence cooperation at EU level.

The Security Policy Working Papers are intended to stimulate debate and help explain current issues.

They can be found on our website: https://www.baks.bund.de/en/working-papers

We hope you enjoy reading them!

Best regards,

Dr. Karl-Heinz Kamp

Federal Academy for Security Policy
