Summary
The EU is planning a security overhaul that would expand the role of its intelligence hub, INTCEN (EU Intelligence and Situation Centre), to strengthen intelligence sharing among member states. A new EU security strategy is expected to propose changes to INTCEN, but the plan has faced backlash from European capitals and the European External Action Service (EEAS), forcing the EU executive to scale back its ambitions. INTCEN currently has no operational espionage capabilities, and the debate centers on how to enhance intelligence cooperation without overstepping national sovereignty boundaries.
