Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP)

 
     
  The term employed in the European Union which signifies: (a) Union policy on foreign political and security issues where cooperation or joint action is agreed by the Council of Ministers, and (b) the machinery for generating and implementing it. CFSP grew out of the largely extra-Community, intergovernmental scheme for member state concertation in this area which was known as ‘European Political Co-operation (EPC)’ and prevailed over the period from the early 1970s until CFSP was introduced by the Maastricht Treaty in 1993.
