Britain is expected to urge its European allies to make their armed forces more "inter-operable" to make up for expected declines in defence spending by the United States, local media reported.
"One of the points the defence secretary will be making is the challenge set by sequestration. Europe needs to do more," a senior Ministry of Defence (MoD) official told Reuters on condition of anonymity. "In times of austerity, not everyone can necessarily spend more but you can make your forces more inter-operable, more efficient."

Günther Oettinger says government's plans to strike 40-year contracts for new nuclear plants with EDF are 'Soviet'

The decision of the European Union to lift the embargo on Syrian
government’s energy exports by importing oil from the ‘armed opposition’ is another flagrant violation of international law.
It violates the UN
General Assembly declaration of 1962 on Permanent Sovereignty over
Natural Resources and is yet another violation of the 1981 UN
declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention and Interference in
the Internal Affairs of States. But it is much more than a technical
violation of the law. It marks the decent of civilization into
barbarism.
London and Paris, have more than Washington, been at the forefront of aggression against Syria. In spite of the fact that it has now been
confirmed by most media sources that the Syrian ‘opposition’ is
Al-Qaeda, London and Paris persist in their insane drive to arm the
terrorists, using the spurious argument that if they don’t arm the
‘moderates’ the ‘extremists’ will take over the country. However, in the words of the New York Times, ‘nowhere in rebel-controlled Syria is
there a secular fighting force to speak of’. [1] The fact that the
Syrian ‘rebels’ are in fact Al- Qaeda has even been admitted by the
war-mongering French daily Le Monde.[2]
