Resumo(s)
To speak of a relationship between the European Union on the one hand and
Latin America and the Caribbean on the other (hereinafter EU-LAC) suggests a
symmetry between the two partners that is difficult to substantiate. Actually, the
EU is a treaty-based organization with legal personality and exclusive competences
vested in common authorities, while the Community of Latin American and
Caribbean States (CELAC, as for its Spanish acronym) is an informal forum fully
deprived of legal structure, headquarters, competences and budget. While the
(now 28) European heads ofstatejointly integrate the European Council, a top EU
decision-making body, their 33 LatinAmerican counterparts participate in nothing
even remotely similar. Therefore, the biennial EU-LAC summits that have taken
place since 1999 * and all things related - may bring together two regions, but
not two organizations. If this distinction is relevant in several issue areas, it is
even more so in the security and defence realm, where organization is crucial for
decision-making, monitoring and enforcement.
