Putin and Erdogan: A new year and new challenges in the EU neighbourhood-By Marc Pierini-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 08:52-euobserver
For decades, the European Union symbolised “liberal democracy” as a political project, one that would be disseminated through its enlargement and neighborhood policies.In 2014, the EU discovered two major hurdles in its near abroad.Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s assertiveness put a spanner in the works of the EU’s “Eastern Partnership”.Meanwhile, Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan publicly signaled that he doesn’t worry much about liberal democratic values – least of all when the EU is perceived as teaching “lessons” to his “New Turkey.”It doesn’t take a crystal ball to guess that 2015 will see more of the same.Despite many differences between these two important neighbours, it is quite obvious that, for their own reasons, both Putin and Erdogan will keep contradicting or chastising the EU as often as needed in their highly-charged populist political style, while engaging the EU for vital economic reasons.The EU’s style of liberal democracy was already vigorously challenged across the entire Arab world, where Europeans chose to co-operate with dictators in the name of fighting terrorism post-9/11.The wave of Arab revolutions didn’t improve the situation much, with the notable exception of Tunisia (although it was the Tunisians themselves, not the Europeans, who promoted liberal democracy).Then, Putin endeavored to recreate the marches of the defunct Soviet empire and to oppose “Western domination” of the world order.
Five Russian vehicles
Five main vehicles were used for this strategy: “Novorossia,” an ethnic Russian concept strong enough to justify the annexation of Crimea and the dispatching of heavily-armed Russian troops in eastern Ukraine; a renewed sense of nationalism, promoted through a massive public relations effort; the Eurasian Union, a loosely defined economic and political project; rebuilding the Russian army and emphasising its renewed confidence with an unprecedented number of harassment incidents of Western air forces and navies; and, finally, blaming any problem on a “foreign plot,” including depicting the EU as annexing Ukraine and the West more generally as attempting to extend Nato further eastward.In Turkey, the EU accession process has been showing its limits since 2011, as the ruling party, the AKP, increasingly sees the accession requirements (including public procurement, competition, and fundamental freedoms policies) as impediments to its lasting predominance.The Gezi protests in June 2013 highlighted the illiberal leanings of then prime minister Erdogan. Alleged corruption cases that dogged the Turkish government in December 2013 triggered a massive rollback of the rule of law architecture, under the justifications of both “foreign” and “terrorism” plots.With the “New Turkey” ushered in following the election of Erdogan as the country’s first directly-elected president last August, a distinct turn toward authoritarianism was taken, touching every segment of public life from the right of dissent to compulsory classic Ottoman language lessons and from women’s role in society to freedom of religion.In both Russia and Turkey, the EU and the liberal values it carries have been designated as contrary to national interests.
Potemkin modernity
In both countries, a modern-looking facade has been erected in front of authoritarian policies through a massive communication effort by government-controlled media and social media, even when it takes the form of outright faking of information (e.g. the Russian case on the downing of flight MH17) or embracing bold but shallow strategies (e.g. the “EU strategy” of Turkey).The challenge for the EU is not so much direct confrontation with Russia or the discarding of the accession request by Turkey.Moscow and Ankara are unlikely to move into such hazardous terrains. The challenge rather lies in the growing distance between rhetoric and reality, which translates into a rapid-fire dual discourse vis-a-vis the EU.For example, Russia keeps sending troops to eastern Ukraine, while seemingly favoring an ever-elusive ceasefire and telling EU leaders (e.g. France’s Hollande) that it has no intention to annex the Donbas region.At the same time, Russia, crippled by sanctions and low gas prices, has a vital need to remain the largest gas supplier to the EU.Similarly, the political survival of Turkey’s ruling party hinges on restraining fundamental liberties and halting corruption inquiries while the country’s economic prosperity, through exports and foreign direct investments, rests in large part on good relations with the EU and the pro forma continuation of accession negotiations.Their authoritarianism is loaded with contradictions.
EU reaction
In such an environment, the EU is faced with assertive political cultures, which are now entirely at odds with the concept of a “common European house” long used with Russia and indeed with the fundamentals of Turkey’s accession process.Good at principled statements and at sanctions, the EU is often divided over its economic interests in both Russia and Turkey. As a result, it may waver between protecting its values and its business needs.Yet, there is no real reason why it should disregard the liberal democratic aspirations of Ukrainian or Turkish people.The European brand of liberal democracy may have found its opponents in Moscow’s Kremlin and Ankara’s Ak Saray and it may be used as a scapegoat because of its support of free press, social media, and civil society.But in response the EU leadership has to fine-tune its foreign policy toolbox in order to stand firm as the major peace and democracy project in today’s world.Marc Pierini, a former EU ambassador to Turkey, is an analyst at Carnegie Europe, a think-tank in Brussels.
Paris attack prompts calls for greater security powers-By Nikolaj Nielsen-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 09:42-euobserver
A number of officials and ministers are calling for expanded surveillance and security powers in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.The head of the UK’s domestic intelligence service MI5, Andrew Parker, on Thursday (8 January) said it needs greater snooping powers to stop Islamist militants from carrying out attacks in Britain.Parker said some privacy rules need to be roll backed in order for the agency to properly conduct its operations, warning more attacks are “highly likely”, reports the Guardian newspaper.“My sharpest concern as director general of MI5 is the growing gap between the increasingly challenging threat and the decreasing availability of capabilities to address it.”For Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, it means stepping up investments in security and defence.“We have to invest in security, to invest in defence. Because we have to strengthen our ability, and adapt to the new security environment,” he said in statement.This includes tracking people who have left for Syria and Iraq to fight alongside ISIS.Estimates put forward by the EU police agency Europol suggest up to 2,500 fighters are EU nationals. The fear is that some who return may carry out terror attacks on EU soil."In Italy, we have counted 53 foreign fighters," Italian interior minister Angelino Alfano told RAI public broadcaster on Thursday.Alfano said this means police surveillance should be increased on the Internet where some potential jihadists are recruited.Other national measures seek to prevent people from fighting along Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria by tracking their flight passenger details or confiscating their passports.Meanwhile, the hunt for the Charlie Hebdo gunmen continues in the Picardy region of northern France. The two brothers were spotted on Thursday in the area after robbing a petrol station.The French government has deployed some 88,000 police officers in the effort.Twelve people died in Wednesday's gun attack, including a Muslim police officer Ahmed Merabet, who was shot in the head after attempting to stop the killers from fleeing the scene.Mosques across France are set to condemn the violence on Friday.
Debate intensifies on stuck EU counter-terrorism bill-By Nikolaj Nielsen-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 18:59-euobserver
Debate has intensified on the European Parliament's handling of a controversial bill on tracking terrorists following the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris earlier this week.Sceptical MEPs remain defiant, arguing the proposal - which collects people's flight details throughout the EU - risks eroding civil liberties without providing proof the system would stop terrorist attacks.“We need to talk about the problems investigators are having in connecting the dots and the information that is already there instead of passing new measures for the blanket collection of data from everyone,” German Green MEP Jan Phillip Albrecht told this website on Friday (9 January).The bill in question, the EU passenger name records (PNR) law, has been stuck in parliament for three years after MEPs in the civil liberties committee voted it down in 2011.But the Paris attack on the satirical magazine which left 12 people dead means parliament is under strong pressure to do move on the draft law.The European commission has said it will “put all its weight behind these negotiations” and reiterated its plan to present a raft of new counter-terrorism measures as part of a larger new internal security strategy.British conservative Timothy Kirkhope is the parliament’s lead negotiator. He is also one of its primary backers and is pushing to get his fellow MEPs to endorse it."We must put in place our own EU rules and standards ... as soon as possible," he said in November.But the EU PNR proposal is likely to face an uphill battle.Last year, the European Court of Justice invalidated the EU’s data retention directive – a different law meant to make identifying terrorists easier - on the grounds that blanket collection of personal data from people not suspected of any crime is disproportionate and a violation of fundamental rights.The EU PNR proposal would force air carriers to transfer travel dates, travel itinerary, ticket information, contact details, and other data from international flights to the police in the EU.Around 15 member states are already moving ahead with their own national PNR systems.Most are co-financed by the European Commission, which has forked out around €50 million for the schemes.The move has infuriated some MEPs who say the Brussels-executive is pre-empting the legislative process by creating a patch work of national PNR systems before the bill is even passed.What would it take for an EU PNR? “I am not against the retention of data. And most of us are not against the retention of data by police and security authorities,” said Albrecht.Instead, the MEP wants a new draft that limits scope and retention periods to up to six months. A judge would need to determine to either renew the six-month retention period or cancel it altogether.But Albrecht’s plan is unlikely to appease EU states who have been pushing the parliament to adopt the bill as is.National governments say the system is needed to track the around 2,500 EU national foreign fighters who might return to the EU from Islamic militant fronts in Syria and Iraq.
Brussels, Madrid, and London terrorist attacks
Similar calls for greater security were made in the wake of the shooting last year at the Brussels Jewish museum, as well as the terror bombings in Madrid in 2004 and in London a year later.The EU rushed through its data retention directive in record time after the incidents in the Spanish and British capitals on the promise that it would help prevent future attacks.The parliament’s legal service on Thursday (8 January) advised MEPs to make sure that other draft laws- which would include the PNR proposal – adhere to the court’s ruling on proportionality and protecting fundamental rights.
UK, Denmark back EU counter-propaganda plan-By Andrew Rettman-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 11:46-euobserver
Four EU states have backed plans on how to combat Russian propaganda, including a regulatory crackdown on media which “incite hatred”.The two-page informal paper - endorsed by Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and the UK and seen by EUobserver - was circulated to EU capitals on Friday (9 January).It describes Russia’s media campaign as “an asymmetric response to Western economic power” which poses “a real threat to security on the eastern edges of the EU”.It says “the objectives are to discredit EU narratives, erode support for legitimate governments in the region, demoralise local populations [and] disorient Western policymakers” in order to “widen the scope for its [Russia’s] military and political options”.It also says promoting the EU “as an idea” is important in eastern Europe because it “raise[s] public support for economic and political reforms, which in the long-term are the most effective guarantees of stability”.But it complains the EU “punches below its weight” by relying on “antiquated delivery channels such as one-off events or physical information centres” and by sending out messages which are “too technical, failing to connect emotionally”.The non-paper calls on EU states’ media regulators to hold Russian broadcasters accountable if they “manipulate, deceive, incite hatred, or propagate war”.RT, which has offices in several EU cities, has run anti-Ukrainian stories which were proven to be fake.Russia's Channel One ran a fake story that Ukrainian fighters crucified a Russian-speaking child in east Ukraine.The non-paper says media watchdogs must pay “due respect to freedom of expression”.But it urges EU countries to “bring together EU media regulators to consider how they might improve co-operating more effectively when following up complaints on reporting where rules on due impartiality have been breached”.It also calls on EU institutions to communicate more assertively.
EU propaganda?
“We should aim to influence behaviour and attitudes amongst key audiences. Not just to increase our ‘brand visibility’,” the paper says.It wants the EU foreign service to draw up an “action plan” for 2015 and 2016 on how to “actively de-construct … hostile propaganda”.It also says the EU Council, the commission, and the foreign service should pool communication funds and allocate money to “strategic communications teams in EU delegations” overseas.To raise awareness, the four states call for “regular political discussions on the issue of Russia’s disinformation campaign” by EU ambassadors and foreign ministers in Brussels and “a permanent platform, where the EU and Nato could exchange views on strategic communication”.The four states also call for EU support for independent or alternative Russian language media in Europe.At the small end of the scale, they say the European Endowment for Democracy, a Brussels-based foundation, can help investigative journalists.At the other end, it calls for EU aid for audiovisual broadcasters, on the model of US funding for former anti-communist broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which recently launched a new Russian language show - Nastojashcheje Vremia/Real time.With Russian channels using a mix of soap operas and gameshows as well as fake news to sell their message, the non-paper says EU states' “entertainment” programmes can also help.The EU should in future “encourage exchange of EU-countries TV production (entertainment programmes, movies, documentaries) in order to provide competitive alternatives to the Russian production available in the EU television market” it says.
Islamist threat
Europe is currently in shock over the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris, but the paper notes that the anti-Russian propaganda measures can also be used against Islamist radicalisation."Important to note, that this capacity is critical in repelling manipulations by radical extremists groups as well", it says.Speaking to EUobserver on Friday, Lithuanian foreign minister Linas Linkevicius noted that RT is increasing its budget by 40 percent.“It’s really time to take this seriously”, he said.The minister added that he doesn’t want an EU version of RT: “We don’t need another state-controlled propaganda machine … this is an effort to suppot genuine media pluralism, to make sure that free media can be more active”.Turning to media coverage of the Charlie Hebdo attack, he criticised some Western broadcasters for trying to demonise Muslims.“I saw one programme where the interviewer took a really confrontational approach with an imam”, he said.“We don’t need this, also in our approach to Russia. We should try to understand each other and to understand the roots of what’s happening, not to deepen wounds”.“The wounds are already deep enough”.

US to close 15 military bases in EU despite Russia crisis-By Andrew Rettman-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 09:26-euobserver
The US plans to close 15 Cold War-era military bases in Europe despite the Russia crisis, but net troop numbers will remain more or less the same.The biggest shutdown is a US air base in Mildenhall, UK, which will see 2,000 military and civilian personnel go home.But the move will be offset by an extra 1,200 personnel at the Lakenheath air base, which will host two new squadrons of F-35 fighter jets from 2020.The UK will see US troops move from the Alconbury and Molesworth bases to a site in Croughton.Germany is to lose seven bases - Mainz Kastel, Barton Barracks, Weilimdorf, Baumholder, Wiesbaden, Pirmasens, and Illesheim/Sembach. But other changes will see a net increase in 500 US troops.The US will also: move troops from Brussels to Sterrebeek in Belgium; sell the Emma Mine site in the Netherlands; partly close the Pisa Ammo and Camp Darby facilities in Italy; and “streamline operations” at Lajes in Portugal.The Pentagon said net numbers will go up by 200 in Italy, but go down by 500 in Portugal. The overall figure in the EU - 64,000 personnel - will stay more or less the same.The restructuring is to cost $1.4 billion but save $500 million a year.Meanwhile, the Pentagon is due to ask Congress for a budget of $51 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations, also known as “war funding”, for the year starting 1 October.The figure is down from $64 billion for the current period.But total defence spending is to stay at over $600 billion - more than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, the UK, Germany, Japan, and India put together.Congressmen have also approved a $985 million “European Reassurance Initiative” to build up militaries in Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, among other states.US defence chief Chuck Hagel said on Thursday (8 January) the closure of the Cold War-era facilities doesn’t mean the US is letting down its EU allies.“This transformation of our infrastructure will help maximse our military capabilities in Europe and help strengthen our important European partnerships, so that we can best support our Nato allies and partners in the region”, he noted.His deputy, Derek Chollet, told press: “These decisions will produce savings that will enable us to maintain a robust force presence in Europe”.The US defence department added, following Hagel’s meeting with Slovak defence minister Martin Glvac in Washington the same day, that “the US and Slovakia continue to present a united front with Nato to deal with Russia's aggressive behaviour”.The US measures come amid new hopes of an end to the Russian crisis caused, for the main part, by Russia’s inability to pay for military adventures due to the rouble crash.International ratings agencies are expected to further downgrade Russian bonds in the coming days.But according to financial newswire Bloomberg, the cost of insuring Russian debt against non-repayment is already the fifth highest in the world, after countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, and Portugal.
Good cop, bad cop
For his part, French president Francois Hollande has set great hopes on a meeting of French, German, Russian, and Ukrainian leaders in Kazakhstan later this month.He said, earlier this week, that EU sanctions on Russia must “stop” if the summit agrees a Russian pull-back from east Ukraine.But German chancellor Angela Merkel took a tougher line following her meeting with Ukrainian PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk in Berlin also on Thursday.She told press the meeting is Astana is “possible” but not certain.She also said Russia must fully comply with the Minsk protocol - a set of 15 ceasefire measures agreed in Belarus last year - if there is to be any EU sanctions relief.“We have had road maps before and they weren’t adhered to”, she noted.“You can’t say, we will lift 10 percent of sanctions for the line of control, or 20 percent if some other point is met … I think we need to see the entire Minsk agreement implemented before we can say that sanctions will be lifted”.

Five main vehicles were used for this strategy: “Novorossia,” an ethnic Russian concept strong enough to justify the annexation of Crimea and the dispatching of heavily-armed Russian troops in eastern Ukraine; a renewed sense of nationalism, promoted through a massive public relations effort; the Eurasian Union, a loosely defined economic and political project; rebuilding the Russian army and emphasising its renewed confidence with an unprecedented number of harassment incidents of Western air forces and navies; and, finally, blaming any problem on a “foreign plot,” including depicting the EU as annexing Ukraine and the West more generally as attempting to extend Nato further eastward.In Turkey, the EU accession process has been showing its limits since 2011, as the ruling party, the AKP, increasingly sees the accession requirements (including public procurement, competition, and fundamental freedoms policies) as impediments to its lasting predominance.The Gezi protests in June 2013 highlighted the illiberal leanings of then prime minister Erdogan. Alleged corruption cases that dogged the Turkish government in December 2013 triggered a massive rollback of the rule of law architecture, under the justifications of both “foreign” and “terrorism” plots.With the “New Turkey” ushered in following the election of Erdogan as the country’s first directly-elected president last August, a distinct turn toward authoritarianism was taken, touching every segment of public life from the right of dissent to compulsory classic Ottoman language lessons and from women’s role in society to freedom of religion.In both Russia and Turkey, the EU and the liberal values it carries have been designated as contrary to national interests.
Potemkin modernity
In both countries, a modern-looking facade has been erected in front of authoritarian policies through a massive communication effort by government-controlled media and social media, even when it takes the form of outright faking of information (e.g. the Russian case on the downing of flight MH17) or embracing bold but shallow strategies (e.g. the “EU strategy” of Turkey).The challenge for the EU is not so much direct confrontation with Russia or the discarding of the accession request by Turkey.Moscow and Ankara are unlikely to move into such hazardous terrains. The challenge rather lies in the growing distance between rhetoric and reality, which translates into a rapid-fire dual discourse vis-a-vis the EU.For example, Russia keeps sending troops to eastern Ukraine, while seemingly favoring an ever-elusive ceasefire and telling EU leaders (e.g. France’s Hollande) that it has no intention to annex the Donbas region.At the same time, Russia, crippled by sanctions and low gas prices, has a vital need to remain the largest gas supplier to the EU.Similarly, the political survival of Turkey’s ruling party hinges on restraining fundamental liberties and halting corruption inquiries while the country’s economic prosperity, through exports and foreign direct investments, rests in large part on good relations with the EU and the pro forma continuation of accession negotiations.Their authoritarianism is loaded with contradictions.
EU reaction
In such an environment, the EU is faced with assertive political cultures, which are now entirely at odds with the concept of a “common European house” long used with Russia and indeed with the fundamentals of Turkey’s accession process.Good at principled statements and at sanctions, the EU is often divided over its economic interests in both Russia and Turkey. As a result, it may waver between protecting its values and its business needs.Yet, there is no real reason why it should disregard the liberal democratic aspirations of Ukrainian or Turkish people.The European brand of liberal democracy may have found its opponents in Moscow’s Kremlin and Ankara’s Ak Saray and it may be used as a scapegoat because of its support of free press, social media, and civil society.But in response the EU leadership has to fine-tune its foreign policy toolbox in order to stand firm as the major peace and democracy project in today’s world.Marc Pierini, a former EU ambassador to Turkey, is an analyst at Carnegie Europe, a think-tank in Brussels.
Paris attack prompts calls for greater security powers-By Nikolaj Nielsen-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 09:42-euobserver
A number of officials and ministers are calling for expanded surveillance and security powers in the wake of the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris.The head of the UK’s domestic intelligence service MI5, Andrew Parker, on Thursday (8 January) said it needs greater snooping powers to stop Islamist militants from carrying out attacks in Britain.Parker said some privacy rules need to be roll backed in order for the agency to properly conduct its operations, warning more attacks are “highly likely”, reports the Guardian newspaper.“My sharpest concern as director general of MI5 is the growing gap between the increasingly challenging threat and the decreasing availability of capabilities to address it.”For Nato Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, it means stepping up investments in security and defence.“We have to invest in security, to invest in defence. Because we have to strengthen our ability, and adapt to the new security environment,” he said in statement.This includes tracking people who have left for Syria and Iraq to fight alongside ISIS.Estimates put forward by the EU police agency Europol suggest up to 2,500 fighters are EU nationals. The fear is that some who return may carry out terror attacks on EU soil."In Italy, we have counted 53 foreign fighters," Italian interior minister Angelino Alfano told RAI public broadcaster on Thursday.Alfano said this means police surveillance should be increased on the Internet where some potential jihadists are recruited.Other national measures seek to prevent people from fighting along Islamist militants in Iraq and Syria by tracking their flight passenger details or confiscating their passports.Meanwhile, the hunt for the Charlie Hebdo gunmen continues in the Picardy region of northern France. The two brothers were spotted on Thursday in the area after robbing a petrol station.The French government has deployed some 88,000 police officers in the effort.Twelve people died in Wednesday's gun attack, including a Muslim police officer Ahmed Merabet, who was shot in the head after attempting to stop the killers from fleeing the scene.Mosques across France are set to condemn the violence on Friday.
Debate intensifies on stuck EU counter-terrorism bill-By Nikolaj Nielsen-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 18:59-euobserver
Debate has intensified on the European Parliament's handling of a controversial bill on tracking terrorists following the Charlie Hebdo attack in Paris earlier this week.Sceptical MEPs remain defiant, arguing the proposal - which collects people's flight details throughout the EU - risks eroding civil liberties without providing proof the system would stop terrorist attacks.“We need to talk about the problems investigators are having in connecting the dots and the information that is already there instead of passing new measures for the blanket collection of data from everyone,” German Green MEP Jan Phillip Albrecht told this website on Friday (9 January).The bill in question, the EU passenger name records (PNR) law, has been stuck in parliament for three years after MEPs in the civil liberties committee voted it down in 2011.But the Paris attack on the satirical magazine which left 12 people dead means parliament is under strong pressure to do move on the draft law.The European commission has said it will “put all its weight behind these negotiations” and reiterated its plan to present a raft of new counter-terrorism measures as part of a larger new internal security strategy.British conservative Timothy Kirkhope is the parliament’s lead negotiator. He is also one of its primary backers and is pushing to get his fellow MEPs to endorse it."We must put in place our own EU rules and standards ... as soon as possible," he said in November.But the EU PNR proposal is likely to face an uphill battle.Last year, the European Court of Justice invalidated the EU’s data retention directive – a different law meant to make identifying terrorists easier - on the grounds that blanket collection of personal data from people not suspected of any crime is disproportionate and a violation of fundamental rights.The EU PNR proposal would force air carriers to transfer travel dates, travel itinerary, ticket information, contact details, and other data from international flights to the police in the EU.Around 15 member states are already moving ahead with their own national PNR systems.Most are co-financed by the European Commission, which has forked out around €50 million for the schemes.The move has infuriated some MEPs who say the Brussels-executive is pre-empting the legislative process by creating a patch work of national PNR systems before the bill is even passed.What would it take for an EU PNR? “I am not against the retention of data. And most of us are not against the retention of data by police and security authorities,” said Albrecht.Instead, the MEP wants a new draft that limits scope and retention periods to up to six months. A judge would need to determine to either renew the six-month retention period or cancel it altogether.But Albrecht’s plan is unlikely to appease EU states who have been pushing the parliament to adopt the bill as is.National governments say the system is needed to track the around 2,500 EU national foreign fighters who might return to the EU from Islamic militant fronts in Syria and Iraq.
Brussels, Madrid, and London terrorist attacks
Similar calls for greater security were made in the wake of the shooting last year at the Brussels Jewish museum, as well as the terror bombings in Madrid in 2004 and in London a year later.The EU rushed through its data retention directive in record time after the incidents in the Spanish and British capitals on the promise that it would help prevent future attacks.The parliament’s legal service on Thursday (8 January) advised MEPs to make sure that other draft laws- which would include the PNR proposal – adhere to the court’s ruling on proportionality and protecting fundamental rights.
UK, Denmark back EU counter-propaganda plan-By Andrew Rettman-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 11:46-euobserver
Four EU states have backed plans on how to combat Russian propaganda, including a regulatory crackdown on media which “incite hatred”.The two-page informal paper - endorsed by Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, and the UK and seen by EUobserver - was circulated to EU capitals on Friday (9 January).It describes Russia’s media campaign as “an asymmetric response to Western economic power” which poses “a real threat to security on the eastern edges of the EU”.It says “the objectives are to discredit EU narratives, erode support for legitimate governments in the region, demoralise local populations [and] disorient Western policymakers” in order to “widen the scope for its [Russia’s] military and political options”.It also says promoting the EU “as an idea” is important in eastern Europe because it “raise[s] public support for economic and political reforms, which in the long-term are the most effective guarantees of stability”.But it complains the EU “punches below its weight” by relying on “antiquated delivery channels such as one-off events or physical information centres” and by sending out messages which are “too technical, failing to connect emotionally”.The non-paper calls on EU states’ media regulators to hold Russian broadcasters accountable if they “manipulate, deceive, incite hatred, or propagate war”.RT, which has offices in several EU cities, has run anti-Ukrainian stories which were proven to be fake.Russia's Channel One ran a fake story that Ukrainian fighters crucified a Russian-speaking child in east Ukraine.The non-paper says media watchdogs must pay “due respect to freedom of expression”.But it urges EU countries to “bring together EU media regulators to consider how they might improve co-operating more effectively when following up complaints on reporting where rules on due impartiality have been breached”.It also calls on EU institutions to communicate more assertively.
EU propaganda?
“We should aim to influence behaviour and attitudes amongst key audiences. Not just to increase our ‘brand visibility’,” the paper says.It wants the EU foreign service to draw up an “action plan” for 2015 and 2016 on how to “actively de-construct … hostile propaganda”.It also says the EU Council, the commission, and the foreign service should pool communication funds and allocate money to “strategic communications teams in EU delegations” overseas.To raise awareness, the four states call for “regular political discussions on the issue of Russia’s disinformation campaign” by EU ambassadors and foreign ministers in Brussels and “a permanent platform, where the EU and Nato could exchange views on strategic communication”.The four states also call for EU support for independent or alternative Russian language media in Europe.At the small end of the scale, they say the European Endowment for Democracy, a Brussels-based foundation, can help investigative journalists.At the other end, it calls for EU aid for audiovisual broadcasters, on the model of US funding for former anti-communist broadcaster Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, which recently launched a new Russian language show - Nastojashcheje Vremia/Real time.With Russian channels using a mix of soap operas and gameshows as well as fake news to sell their message, the non-paper says EU states' “entertainment” programmes can also help.The EU should in future “encourage exchange of EU-countries TV production (entertainment programmes, movies, documentaries) in order to provide competitive alternatives to the Russian production available in the EU television market” it says.
Islamist threat
Europe is currently in shock over the Charlie Hebdo murders in Paris, but the paper notes that the anti-Russian propaganda measures can also be used against Islamist radicalisation."Important to note, that this capacity is critical in repelling manipulations by radical extremists groups as well", it says.Speaking to EUobserver on Friday, Lithuanian foreign minister Linas Linkevicius noted that RT is increasing its budget by 40 percent.“It’s really time to take this seriously”, he said.The minister added that he doesn’t want an EU version of RT: “We don’t need another state-controlled propaganda machine … this is an effort to suppot genuine media pluralism, to make sure that free media can be more active”.Turning to media coverage of the Charlie Hebdo attack, he criticised some Western broadcasters for trying to demonise Muslims.“I saw one programme where the interviewer took a really confrontational approach with an imam”, he said.“We don’t need this, also in our approach to Russia. We should try to understand each other and to understand the roots of what’s happening, not to deepen wounds”.“The wounds are already deep enough”.

US to close 15 military bases in EU despite Russia crisis-By Andrew Rettman-BRUSSELS, 9. Jan, 09:26-euobserver
The US plans to close 15 Cold War-era military bases in Europe despite the Russia crisis, but net troop numbers will remain more or less the same.The biggest shutdown is a US air base in Mildenhall, UK, which will see 2,000 military and civilian personnel go home.But the move will be offset by an extra 1,200 personnel at the Lakenheath air base, which will host two new squadrons of F-35 fighter jets from 2020.The UK will see US troops move from the Alconbury and Molesworth bases to a site in Croughton.Germany is to lose seven bases - Mainz Kastel, Barton Barracks, Weilimdorf, Baumholder, Wiesbaden, Pirmasens, and Illesheim/Sembach. But other changes will see a net increase in 500 US troops.The US will also: move troops from Brussels to Sterrebeek in Belgium; sell the Emma Mine site in the Netherlands; partly close the Pisa Ammo and Camp Darby facilities in Italy; and “streamline operations” at Lajes in Portugal.The Pentagon said net numbers will go up by 200 in Italy, but go down by 500 in Portugal. The overall figure in the EU - 64,000 personnel - will stay more or less the same.The restructuring is to cost $1.4 billion but save $500 million a year.Meanwhile, the Pentagon is due to ask Congress for a budget of $51 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations, also known as “war funding”, for the year starting 1 October.The figure is down from $64 billion for the current period.But total defence spending is to stay at over $600 billion - more than China, Russia, Saudi Arabia, France, the UK, Germany, Japan, and India put together.Congressmen have also approved a $985 million “European Reassurance Initiative” to build up militaries in Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova, among other states.US defence chief Chuck Hagel said on Thursday (8 January) the closure of the Cold War-era facilities doesn’t mean the US is letting down its EU allies.“This transformation of our infrastructure will help maximse our military capabilities in Europe and help strengthen our important European partnerships, so that we can best support our Nato allies and partners in the region”, he noted.His deputy, Derek Chollet, told press: “These decisions will produce savings that will enable us to maintain a robust force presence in Europe”.The US defence department added, following Hagel’s meeting with Slovak defence minister Martin Glvac in Washington the same day, that “the US and Slovakia continue to present a united front with Nato to deal with Russia's aggressive behaviour”.The US measures come amid new hopes of an end to the Russian crisis caused, for the main part, by Russia’s inability to pay for military adventures due to the rouble crash.International ratings agencies are expected to further downgrade Russian bonds in the coming days.But according to financial newswire Bloomberg, the cost of insuring Russian debt against non-repayment is already the fifth highest in the world, after countries such as Lebanon, Egypt, and Portugal.
Good cop, bad cop
For his part, French president Francois Hollande has set great hopes on a meeting of French, German, Russian, and Ukrainian leaders in Kazakhstan later this month.He said, earlier this week, that EU sanctions on Russia must “stop” if the summit agrees a Russian pull-back from east Ukraine.But German chancellor Angela Merkel took a tougher line following her meeting with Ukrainian PM Arseniy Yatsenyuk in Berlin also on Thursday.She told press the meeting is Astana is “possible” but not certain.She also said Russia must fully comply with the Minsk protocol - a set of 15 ceasefire measures agreed in Belarus last year - if there is to be any EU sanctions relief.“We have had road maps before and they weren’t adhered to”, she noted.“You can’t say, we will lift 10 percent of sanctions for the line of control, or 20 percent if some other point is met … I think we need to see the entire Minsk agreement implemented before we can say that sanctions will be lifted”.
