Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what UK obligations arise as a result of being party to the EU Coordinated Annual Review on Defence.
The EU Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD) is conducting a trial run in which the UK is participating. The UK is providing data on our Defence policy and plans as well as our military and non-military capabilities; the information is consistent with our commitment to provide UK Defence information to NATO, through the NATO Defence Planning Process. The UK has not made a decision whether to continue to participate in CARD beyond this trial.
