1. BACKGROUND
The European Defence Agency has been established by Council Joint Action 2004/551/CFSP on 12 July 2004 (O.J. L 245. 17.07.2004). The Agency has its headquarters in Brussels.
The main task of the EDA is to support the Member States and the Council in their effort to improve the EU’s defence capabilities in the field of crisis management and to sustain the ESDP as it stands now and develops in the future.
To this end, the Agency works for the development of defence capabilities in the field of crisis management, the promotion and enhancement of European armaments co-operation, the strengthening of the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (DTIB), the creation of an internationally competitive European Defence Equipment Market (EDEM) and the enhancement of Research and Technology (R&T).
2. THE AGENCY'S WAY OF WORKING
The Agency is an "outward-facing" organisation, constantly interacting with a wide range of stakeholders, in particular the participating Member States. Internally, it works on a "matrix" principle, with multi-disciplinary teams forming and re-forming to pursue different elements of its work programme. Its business processes are flexible, oriented towards achieving results rather than following rigid procedures. Staff at all levels need to demonstrate the corresponding qualities of flexibility, innovation, and team-working; to work effectively with stakeholder groups, formal and informal; and to operate without the need of detailed direction.
3. THE ARMAMENTS DIRECTORATE
The Directorate works for the promotion and enhancement of European armaments cooperation, in particular by:- promoting and proposing new multilateral cooperative projects to meet ESDP capabilities requirements as they stand now and develop in the future; working for coordination of existing programs implemented by participating Member States; assuming responsibility, at the request of participating Member States, for managing specific programmes (through OCCAR or other programme management arrangements as appropriate); promoting cost-effective and efficient procurement by identifying and disseminating best practices. 4.
