CAPABILITIES IMPROVEMENT CHART
Member States have fulfilled about two thirds
of the 144 capability requirements identified. Of the remaining
capability requirements, some have been partly fulfilled. The
list is comprehensive but the different importance of the identified
shortfalls has to be kept in mind. The following table illustrates
the situation regarding the shortfalls as at 2003. The table shows
which Member States have already contributed for each functional
shortfall area, the progress made since the Capability Commitment
Conference on 19 November 2000 and the involvement of Member States
in national or multinational projects and initiatives. If completed
and contributed, those can directly solve or alleviate the shortfall.
Although other projects and initiatives put
forward by Member States, if implemented, will improve the overall
capability, the present table shows only those that are directly
related to the shortfalls.
Since most of the EU shortfalls are also addrssed
in DCI, actions taken by Member States to remedy the shortfalls
will contribute to mutual reinforcement of the EU capabilities
and those arising, for the countries concerned, from the DCI.
