Solana's deputy 'Mr ESDP' should manage the EU's military staff (now 120 strong) and sit on both the EU military committee (consisting of senior military officers) and the Political and Security Committee (consisting of national diplomats based in Brussels). In particular, Mr ESDP should take on the crucial role of pushing for more effective military capabilities. He should press the member-states to meet their promised contributions towards the EU's equipment goals. Every year he should publish a progress report on the EU's military assets, and then name and shame those governments that fail to fulfil their commitments.

Mr ESDP should also chair regular meetings of the EU defence ministers. European defence ministers do already meet informally. However, the EU should create a formal council for defence ministers, which would meet on a regular basis. This council would encourage peer group pressure among the defence ministers, and more generally help to educate national defence ministries in the workings of the EU. Another role of Mr ESDP would be to manage the crucial relationship between the EU and NATO. Most of the EU's military operations are likely to depend on NATO assets, such as its military planners, for the foreseeable future. To ensure that NATO is willing and able to lend its assets when they are needed, Mr ESDP will need to establish close ties to the NATO secretary-general. When Solana is too busy to attend meetings of the NATO council, Mr ESDP should represent the EU. And during a crisis, when Solana may be engaged in heavy diplomacy with governments outside the EU, the member-states should not also expect him to ensure that military preparations are running smoothly. Mr ESDP would be the appropriate person to liaise with national defence ministries.
