Recommendation
We are concerned that placing Finland (and Sweden) under the Brunssum Joint Force Command runs at cross-purposes to the efforts of the Nordic states to strengthen inter-operability and joint defence in the Nordic region. We call on the UK Government to assist in capacity building at JFC Norfolk so that Finland and Sweden can be placed under its command as soon as possible. In the interim, it is particularly important that NATO tests the flexibility and inter-operability between the two joint commands. (Paragraph 128) The internationalisation of the Arctic
