BRUSSELS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th November, 2018) The defense ministers of the EU member states adopted on Monday at a meeting in Brussels a plan providing for the creation of a Joint EU Intelligence school (JEIS), a document published on the official website of the European Council and the Council of European Union said.
"The JEIS, in collaboration with member states, NATO CoEs , Intelligence and Security Services, will provide education and training in intelligence disciplines and other specific fields to EU member states intelligence personnel," the updated list of EU Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) projects said, noting that the initiative was adopted on November 19.
It is planned that 25 of the EU 28 member states will be a part of the future project � except for Denmark, Malta and the United Kingdom, a source familiar with the issue told Sputnik.
The need to create supranational joint intelligence agencies and train joint intelligence staff has been set out in the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, however, the EU member states used to have disagreements regarding the establishment of a joint European intelligence service.
