The committee has proposed that annual reports be fi led on the Bundeswehr’s capacity to cooperate with allied armed forces and announced that Bundestag’s consent for operations will not be required to authorize the posting of soldiers in multinational command centers and staff of NATO or the EU as long as they are not located in conflict areas.
