"Mr President, UK Conservatives have grave reservations about the CSDP, in particular that it will result in duplication of the work of NATO, which must remain the anchor to Britain’s national defence at a time of defence cuts. The advantage of NATO is to forge strong transatlantic links with the United States and there are serious concerns that the CSDP could decouple us from our American allies. Nevertheless, I believe that it is in Britain’s interest to remain pragmatically engaged with CSDP operations when it can bring additional resources to bear. I am the rapporteur for the Horn of Africa and accept that the EU NAVFOR Atalanta mission, which fights piracy in the Indian Ocean, together with the EU training mission in Uganda, are proving useful. I will be watching with interest the mission to Mali with ECOWAS to see what it can do to stabilise the Sahel region, as well as the EULEX mission, which is a civilian mission to Kosovo. That has also proved fairly useful. So I remain, as it were, sceptical of CSDP but watching it with a great deal of interest."@en1
