In summer 1995, in an article published in the journal Affari esteri, Susanna Agnelli, Italian Foreign Minister, considers the initiatives taken by the Member States of Western European Union (WEU) to make multinational formations, officially known as FAWEU (forces answerable to WEU), available to the organisation for its crisis management tasks. As Eurofor and Euromarfor are established, she welcomes the participation of Italy for the first time in such an initiative.
