"Significant changes are taking place in the geostrategic context in which the Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) and the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) operate, owing in particular to the upheavals in the Middle East and North Africa (including revolutions, conflicts and/or regime change in Libya, Tunisia, Egypt and Syria), the emergence on the international scene of new players with regional or even global ambitions and the reorientation of United States defence policy priorities towards the Asia-Pacific area. At the same time, threats and challenges to global security are growing because of uncertainties linked to the attitudes of states and non-state actors (such as terrorist organisations) engaged in programmes which dangerously encourage proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (including nuclear weapons), the escalation of local crises in the EU’s neighbourhood with major regional implications, such as the current Syrian conflict, the vagaries of the transition process in the Arab countries and its security dimension (for instance in Libya and the Sinai Peninsula), the evolution of the Afghan-Pakistan area in the light of the prospective withdrawal of NATO troops, and increased terrorist threats in Africa. I am convinced that the Union must respond to these threats and challenges by speaking with one voice and acting in a spirit of solidarity between Member States and by making use of all the means and instruments at its disposal to secure peace and security for its people."@en1
