area within <a href="/wiki/Institutions_of_the_European_Union" title="Institutions of the European Union">EU structures</a> but without the other member states being involved.<a

It is further distinct from <a href="/wiki/Mechanism_for_Cooperation_and_Verification" title="Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification">Mechanism for Cooperation and Verification</a> and permanent <a href="/wiki/Acquis_communautaire" title="Acquis communautaire">acquis</a> suspensions, whose lifting is conditional on meeting certain benchmarks by the affected member states. <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Enhanced_cooperation&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: History">edit</a>]</div> Enhanced cooperation, at that time known as closer cooperation, was introduced by the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Amsterdam" title="Treaty of Amsterdam">Treaty of Amsterdam</a> for <a href="/wiki/European_Community" class="mw-redirect" title="European Community">community</a>, <a href="/wiki/Police_and_Judicial_Co-operation_in_Criminal_Matters" class="mw-redirect" title="Police and Judicial Co-operation in Criminal Matters">judicial cooperation and criminal matters</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Nice" title="Treaty of Nice">Treaty of Nice</a> simplified the mechanism: the right of veto which the Member States enjoyed over the establishment of enhanced cooperation has disappeared (except in the field of foreign policy), the number of Member States required for launching the procedure has changed from the majority to the fixed number of eight Member States.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> It also introduced cooperation for the <a href="/wiki/Common_Foreign_and_Security_Policy" title="Common Foreign and Security Policy">Common Foreign and Security Policy</a>, except for defence matters.<a href="#cite_note-GLOSS-7">[7]</a> At the same time, it stipulated that acts adopted within an enhanced cooperation do not form part of the Union acquis that new member states have to adopt.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> It also renamed closer cooperation to enhanced cooperation. The <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Lisbon" title="Treaty of Lisbon">Treaty of Lisbon</a> extended cooperation to include defence<a href="#cite_note-GLOSS-7">[7]</a> and additionally envisions the possibility for establishment of a <a href="#Permanent_Structured_Cooperation_in_Defence">permanent structured cooperation</a> in defence. A minimum requirement of nine member states was also introduced. The provisions governing enhanced cooperation are now detailed in the <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Consolidated_version_of_the_Treaty_on_European_Union/Title_IV:_Provisions_on_Enhanced_Cooperation" class="extiw" title="s:Consolidated version of the Treaty on European Union/Title IV: Provisions on Enhanced Cooperation">Treaty on European Union (Article 20)</a> and <a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Consolidated_version_of_the_Treaty_on_the_Functioning_of_the_European_Union/Title_III:_Enhanced_Cooperation" class="extiw" title="s:Consolidated version of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union/Title III: Enhanced Cooperation">Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (Article 326-334)</a>. The <a href="/wiki/Schengen_Agreement" title="Schengen Agreement">Schengen Agreement</a> adoption is considered a historical inspiration for formalising the mechanism of Enhanced cooperation. It was created by <a href="/wiki/European_Communities" title="European Communities">European Communities</a> member states only, but outside of its structures, in part owing to the lack of consensus amongst all member states over whether it had the competence to abolish border controls,<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a> and in part because those ready to implement the idea did not wish to wait for others. As there was no Enhanced cooperation mechanism back then it was impossible to establish it inside the Community structures from the start, but afterwards the Schengen Agreement was subsumed into <a href="/wiki/European_Union_law" class="mw-redirect" title="European Union law">European Union law</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Treaty_of_Amsterdam" title="Treaty of Amsterdam">Treaty of Amsterdam</a> as the rules of the <a href="/wiki/Schengen_Area" title="Schengen Area">Schengen Area</a>. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Enhanced_cooperation&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Usage">edit</a>]</div> Enhanced cooperation allows for a minimum of nine member states (which amounts to one-third at the moment) to co-operate within the structures of the EU without all member states.
