N1  - SIP1307; "June 2013"; This paper outlines the development and current state of the European Union (EU) Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear (CBRN) Centres of Excellence  (COE) Initiative. It describes the legal framework underpinning the EU CBRN risk-mitigation actions—the Instrument for Stability (IFS)—and also illustrates the EU’s innovative holistic approach and the structure of the CBRN network, as well as the establishment of the Regional Secretariats; The EU Non-Proliferation Consortium is a network of foreign policy institutions and research centres from across the EU engaged in political and security-related dialogue and discussion of measures to combat the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and their delivery systems. The Consortium is managed jointly by SIPRI and three other institutes, in close cooperation with the representative of the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy. The three institutes are the Fondation pour la recherche stratégique in Paris, the Peace Research Institute in Frankfurt (HSFK/PRIF), and the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London
