That's sort of the point.... no policy or seemingly priority change from the EU despite the enormous geo-political changes.

Just to add, the references to Norway and Ukraine were deliberate because they are not in the EU. Also, I don't think the requirement for third countries to commit to defence pacts with the EU is inherently bad, but it should be just that - a defence pact to meet the most pressing threat Europe faces. Making a defence pact conditional on the UK granting access to its fishing waters is moronic.

It is just sad to see the same short-sighted pettiness undermining Europe's common interest. I'm not sure your specific points hold any water; obviously nobody anywhere in Europe has voted for this in a general election / referendum, and the current UK governing party (which won a large parliamentary election last year) was for remaining in the EU.

It's not being helped if this means that rearmament will be more expensive or inefficient
