European Parliament · 16 September 2026

Hybrid warfare and the protection of the EU’s territorial integrity and critical security and defence infrastructure

Adopted

470 in favour · 129 against · 62 abstained. 661 of 720 members voted; 59 did not.

What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission, the EEAS, in close coordination with NATO and the Member States, to develop a common understanding of hybrid threats and to establish a coherent response mechanism for the EU and NATO
• Welcomes the Commission’s and the High Representative’s announcement of a new global EU security strategy and calls for it to comprehensively address the full spectrum of hybrid threats
• Regrets that the recent shift in US policy has weakened the common front of democracies at a time of intensifying hybrid threats; stresses that transatlantic unity remains essential to fighting them
