JOINT STAFF WORKING DOCUMENT
Mapping of measures related to enhancing resilience and countering hybrid threats Mapping of measures related to enhancing resilience and countering hybrid threats
The first steps of the EU work on hybrid threats date back to 2015, when Council adopted conclusions on Common Defence and Security Policy (CSDP) calling for a joint framework with actionable proposals to help counter hybrid threats and foster the resilience of the EU and Member States, as well as partners. The first comprehensive policy document, Joint
Framework on countering hybrid threats – a European Union response 1 was issued in 2016.
As threats and challenges had rapidly evolved, in 2018, the Commission and the High Representative presented Joint Communication on increasing resilience and bolstering
capabilities to counter hybrid threats 2 . In addition, the EU policy on countering hybrid threats
has been subject to numerous Council Conclusions.
On 10 December 2019, Council Conclusions on complementary efforts to enhance resilience and counter hybrid threats 3 were adopted. Paragraph 17 of these Council Conclusions invited
the Commission and the High Representative ‘to produce a mapping that would take into
account the measures taken so far and the relevant documents adopted in a comprehensive
fashion, with a view to possible new initiatives’.
The objective of the present mapping is to provide a comprehensive inventory of countering
hybrid threats-related measures at EU level and to list the corresponding policy and legal
documents. Since the adoption in 2016 of the Joint Framework, almost 200 measures related
to increasing resilience and countering hybrid threats have been implemented by the
Commission and High Representative in cooperation with the Member States and the relevant
stakeholders, as appropriate. Beyond these, the mapping also includes measures relevant to
countering hybrid threats, whose establishment precedes the 2016 Joint Framework, like for
example the creation in 2015 of the East StratCom Task Force, as well as measures stemming
from The European Agenda on Security adopted in 2015 4 .
Based on the present mapping, a restricted online platform will be created for Member States’
easy reference on counter-hybrid tools and measures at EU level. The platform will be
updated as new measures are established.
The mapping is a joint work of the Commission services and the European External Action Service, incorporating the valuable contribution from the European Defence Agency. The document will be presented to Member States in the Horizontal Working Party Enhancing Resilience and Countering Hybrid Threats.
