Question for written answer E-000358-17
to the Commission
Rule 130
Bill Etheridge (EFDD)
Following the report on the implementation of the Common Security and Defence Policy based on the Annual Report from the Council to the European Parliament on the common foreign and security policy,[1] does the Commission agree that this policy has not led to enhanced cooperation and that the Union does not possess the requisite resources, operationally, industrially or in terms of capabilities?
Therefore, will the Commission confirm that this policy has been ineffective and has been a major distraction from Europe’s key security provider, NATO?
