European Defence Cooperation

Asked for the Prime Minister’s view on European Defence, the PMS said that there were longstanding procedures in place by which European countries could cooperate on defence mechanisms, going back to the San Marlo Agreement in 1998.

Asked if there was a case for going any further, the PMS said that there would no doubt be discussions on these issues, but the Prime Minister had made very clear that NATO was the cornerstone of our defence. We would continue to keep under review prospects for improvements in EU-NATO cooperation.
