The EEAS supports the work of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy (HR) in defining and implementing an effective and coherent EU policy. The EEAS supports the HR as well in his tasks of conducting the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) -of which the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) is an integral part- and in chairing the Foreign Affairs Council (FAC). Working in close cooperation with Member States, the Council, and the European Commission, the EEAS supports the HR in his capacity as Vice-President of the Commission with regard to his responsibilities in the field of external relations, including the coordination of other aspects of the EU's external action.In my role, I ensure liaison and coordination notably with the European Defence Agency (EDA), the Political-Military Group and the EU Military Committee Working Group / Headline Goal Task Force (EUMCWG/HTF) on capability planning and development related matters. Moreover, I assist the European Commission on aspects pertaining to the European Defence Fund (EDF), and provide support in the framework of the Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) as well as the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD).An important part of my work is dedicated to ensuring and enhancing coehrence among EU defence initiatives (CARD, PESCO, EDF) contributing to the fulfilment of the EU Level of Ambition in security and defence, close consultation with the EDA, the EUMS, and the Commission colleagues.Since the adoption of the Strategic Compass for Security and Defence, in March 2022, I have been part and parcel of the related efforts to achieve various objectives, notably the operationalisation of the EU Rapid Deployment Capacity and the Military Planning and Conduct Capability at the 2025 horizon.

During my time with the Romanian Permanent Representation to the EU (RO PermRep EU), the most important achievement and challenge at the same time was the participation in the team which negotiated the first ever European Defence Fund - EDF (sectoral file under the Multiannual Financial Framework 2021-2027). After three rounds of intensive trilogues, involving the Council (represented by the Romanian Presidency), the European Parliament, and the European Commision, a political agreement (common understanding) was reached and paved the way for a full-fledged agreement in the related EDF Regulation in early December 2020, under the German Presidency of the Council. This was first and foremost a team effort and was complemented and prepared by many meetings in the dedicated Council body, multilateral and bilateral exchanges with the Member States, close coordination with European Commission and European Parliament, as well as information sessions with partner countries and defence industry associations (e.g. ASD).
