Eurocorps

My esteemed colleagues,

Greece would like to revise the role of EUROCORPS and wishes to expand it's role in to a sizable 'real standing army' . With many European nations that are cutting in to their national defense budgets, for austerity reasons, it's vital to for the EU to uphold a strong coordinated Defensive Force who could also be used for peace keeping around the world. The benefit of such a standing force is that participating nations would spend less on their defense budget, sizable standing army is always available, coordinated joint defense on Europe's borders against external threats such as illegal immigration.

Greece will announce soon that it will upgrade their status within the Eurocorps from Associated nation to Framework Nation.

If my Greek counterpart would like to discuss the establishment of an additional Eurocorps, perhaps utilising specialised formations from some of our newer members, my government would certainly be open to such proposals. By pooling assets, we can improve the cooperation, raise standards and interoperability and save money by not having extensive and costly duplicate capabilities.

My government sees the European Air Transport Command as a model for the European Union.

We are looking currently to donate a brigade to Eurocorps and expand the existing Franco-German detachment, pending future negotiations with Paris.
