Common Foreign and Security Policy

EU Member states have committed themselves to a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), which aims to strengthen the EU's ability to act in Conflict Prevention and Crisis Management and to influence policies violating international law or human rights, or other policies that don’t respect the rule of law or democratic principles.

Proposals relating to legislation or agreements in the areas of CFSP often have implications for the fundamental right to the protection of personal data and relate to the EDPS mission in different ways.
