Summary: The UK is right to pursue deeper security co-operation with the EU: the line between security and economics is blurring and the Union is an increasingly important security actor in its own right. Labour’s idea of a security pact is a genuine offer to improve relations and deepen co-operation on common challenges, and it would be a mistake for EU leaders to see it as the UK asking for favours, or to refuse deeper security co-operation until other disagreements are addressed. The two sides should avoid getting bogged down in lengthy negotiations on a treaty and maintain the current momentum with a joint statement at a UK-EU summit. Instead of aiming too high, the priority now should be putting the right building blocks in place so that security co-operation can deepen over time. |
