Summary – Conclusion –

Way Ahead

The envisaged Future E&T Concept:

Supports Sec Gen’s CFI.

Identifies E&T end states.

Takes effectiveness, efficiency and affordability into account.

Ensures the fulfillment of requirements for NATO nations and partners.

Transformation of NATO E&T will:

Be under a single authority.

Be more agile, flexible and affordable

Prepare NCS / NFS / partners for future challenges

Balance quality, requirements with available resources

The future NATO E&T system aims to

Better coordinate NATO / National / Partner E&T activities.

Increase accessibility and a global approach via on-line, real-time

coordination.
