The Informal Security Policy Directors (SPD) meeting is composed by the Head of the Directorates of the EU member-states who are dealing with security issues in the field of Common Foreign Security Policy (CFSP) and Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP). Security Policy Directors meet once every six months at the country which holds the Presidency of the Council of the EU. This informal meeting constitutes an excellent opportunity to discuss and exchange views on a wide range of issues related to security issues. SPD meeting is chaired by the Under-Secretary General of the European External Action Service (EEAS).
