Britain to block EU army
[THETIMES.CO.UK] Britannia will veto measures to build an EU army for as long as it remains a member of the union, the defence secretary has warned.Sir Michael Fallon’s comments came as it emerged that La Belle France and Germany had drawn up a timetable to create a "common military force" that would rival NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions... in army capability. According to a document discussed by EU leaders at a summit in Bratislava yesterday, the European Commission will put forward proposals in December for the common military force, with the aim of agreement by June next year.
