EU Defence Policy
(asked on 23rd November 2017) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what the role of the UK will be in the EU Battlegroup system after the UK has left the EU and if he will make a statement.
This question was answered on 30th November 2017
The UK's provisional offer to be on the EU Battlegroup roster as a Framework Nation in the second half of 2019 has not been confirmed.
The exact nature of the UK's relationship with the EU and commitments post 2019 are to be determined as part of the negotiations as we leave. Until then we will continue to take a full and active part in EU discussions.
We remain committed to European peace security.
