Conclusion (the committee's words)
NATO remains the leading organisation for defending Europe and setting standards to facilitate military interoperability between European allies. The UK should take advantage of its prominent role in NATO to take the lead on a plan to give operational effect to the call in the EU-NATO Joint Declaration for the “fullest involvement of non-EU NATO allies in the strategic partnership between the EU and NATO”. This plan could potentially include proposing revisions to the terms on which NATO members participate in EU-based defence initiatives.
