Lord Robertson
attends
EU Defence Ministers' meeting
Lord Robertson was invited to the informal meeting of EU Defence
Ministers in Saragoza on 22-23 March to discuss current issues,
such as terrorism and Europe's military capabilities. They also
discussed the proposal of EU Heads of State and Government at
their Summit meeting in Barcelona on 15-16 March, to take over
from NATO's Task Force Fox in the former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia (1), after elections
in the country and as soon as a "permanent arrangement
with NATO" on modalities for cooperation have been
reached.
During the meetings, participants were able to exchange information
on a number of other security developments, including NATO-EU
relations and issues of common interest to both organisations.
NATO and EU representatives will next meet on 14 May at the
meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Reykjavik, Iceland.
