Coordinated Annual Review on Defence
The Coordinated Annual Review on Defence is a process of monitoring the defence plans of European Union member states to help coordinate spending and identify possible collaborative projects. It has operated on a test basis since 2017 under the European Defence Agency, in cooperation with the European External Action Service. The first full implementation of CARD will be in the autumn of 2019.
Together with Permanent Structured Cooperation and the European Defence Fund, it forms a new comprehensive defence package for the EU.
