Finabel is an organisation promoting cooperation and interoperability between the national armies of the member states of the European Union (EU).〔(Finabel information folder: "Finabel: Contributing to European Army Interoperability since 1953" )〕 Founded in 1953, Finabel is controlled by the member states' army chiefs of staff, and the organisation's work agenda consists of studies and working groups. Finabel has a relatively small permanent secretariat. The studies carried out by Finabel take the form of reports resulting from studies entrusted to the working groups, agreements relating to the military characteristics of equipment, as well as conventions that standardise procedures, testing methods and glossaries in order to facilitate exchanges between member states. The Finabel coordination committee is a land forces organisation comprising 20 Member states of the European Union with a view to promote interoperability between the land forces of its Member states. Membership is open to all of the Member states of the European Union == History == The organisation was founded in 1953, and its name is the acronym of the initial letters of the member states - France, Italy, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg. It became FINABEL when Germany (Allemagne) joined in 1956, shortly after West Germany was rearmed in 1955. Later, the name has been kept as a proper noun, written in lower-case, when membership further expanded. Finabel was founded by armies which belonged to both NATO and Western European Union. The committee was created in October 1953 under the acronym FINBEL by the Army Chiefs of Staff of France, Italy, Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg, and then became Finabel with the arrival of Germany (Allemagne) in 1956. Initially, French was the official language. In the 2000s the use of English increased progressively and since 2011 is the language used across all levels. The Finabel Committee’s initial task focused on cooperation between armament programmes. This task quickly developed into the harmonisation of army doctrines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Finabel」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
