Recommendation 3
3
Failure to secure UK participation in SAFE was a disappointing outcome.
Conclusion
Failure to secure UK participation in SAFE was a disappointing outcome. It should not preclude further defence cooperation between the UK and the EU. The Committee agrees that the cost of UK participation, if reported correctly, was too high. On that basis, we agree with the Government’s decision not to participate at this stage. (Conclusion, Paragraph 15)
