The most important EU institution dealing with intelligence, which is closest in its operation to the imaginary EU Intelligence Service, is the Joint Situation Center (SitCen). With the establishment of the European External Action Service (EEAS) on 1 December 2010, there was a relatively fundamental institutional and functional reform of the EU's external action, which also significantly affected SitCen. This work aims to describe and analyze the implications of this reform for SitCen and for intelligence cooperation within the EU as such.

This work aims to illustrate and subsequently analyze the concept of military crisis management in the EU in the case of the military operation EUFOR RD Congo, which took place in 2006. It goes without saying that one operation is by no means a sufficiently representative sample for a comprehensive assessment of EU military crisis management. Therefore, the work will focus mainly on the partial evaluation of problematic factors, which are unfortunately a common common denominator of EU peace support operations and thus limit the " performance " of the EU as a global security actor.
