France, OTAN et défense européenne : vision anglaise

France, NATO and European defence
★ France and the UK are close to an agreement that would dramatically improve relations between
the EU and NATO. The two institutions currently make poor partners. They are not allowed to
discuss important issues like Kosovo.
★ France had long championed the EU over NATO but President Nicolas Sarkozy changed that.
He has ordered his diplomats to stop obstructing NATO’s work and offered to return France to
NATO’s military structures.
★ Britain should now respond to Sarkozy’s initiative by agreeing with France to strengthen the
EU’s defence policy. And Turkey should be offered a bigger role in the EU’s security and defence
policy. Together, these steps hold promise of much better EU-NATO ties.
Intéressant, cet accent qui est donné à l'accès turc à la PESD : je l'avais juste évoqué dans mon article de DN&SC, mais ça semble être une ligne rouge anglo-américaine.
