it's about finding a role for the european union to act. don't you think in this time is scarce defense resources, it would take far more sense rather than have the european union creating parallel structures and institutions if it was to concentrate on the european affair within nato? because that is very realistically it's going to happen. of course all the duplication of effort is compounded by the fact we end up with basically the same member states talking to one another in the same city. my concern i suppose in the way things are going at the moment is first of all we don't have a very truthful conversation because the conversation here is about roles for the european union, whereas in reality what she'd like to say is please stop playing politics. stop up a new institutions and structures and things. create more capability. that so we need. you're not going to do it to the european union because their objective is something entirely different. aren't you worried about an eventual bifurcation of the alliance that we would end up on th

union -- britain's clays in the european union. europe has to change because the single currency is driving change for that part of the european union that is in the single currency, and just as they want changes, i believe written is entitled to ask for and get changes in response. finally, is in britain's national interest, once we have achieved those changes to consult the british public and a proper referendum? i believe it is. that is the approach we take, everything driven by what is in the british national interest. that is what i'm going to deliver. it's absolutely right for our country and has strong support throughout the country and in the conservative party. that is exactly what i'm going to do. on the syrian issue, you asked what are the signs of russian engagement? i had very good talks with president putin on friday area we had a very frank on rotation in that we have approached this and to some extent do approach this in a very different way. i have been very vocal in supporting the syrian opposition, saying assad h

here, i think, the european union could play a role. i think the european union has some level to facilitate in the resolution to the problem. i was also asked about nato post-2014. are we really looking for new tasks? do we try to invent new activities just to ensure that nato continues to be relevant? no way. there is no need to invent new things. in our hands, we have a full plate. our hands are full. so nato post-2014 will be a nato that is prepared to take action if needed. and one way to do that is to make sure that the ability we have developed to work and operate together in a gena stand, that ability will be maintained and further developed in the coming years. we call it the connected forces initiative because it is about joint exercises, training, education. so that what we learned in afghanistan will be maintained even if we draw down in afghanistan. and believe me, there will be new tasks. we stand ready. we are prepared for the unexpected. if you had asked me when i took office as secretary general in honest 2009, can you

., believes in major states, but not in the european union. i'm summarizing, simplifying, but that's more or less the message. there are threats facing us, vownting us, greater than ever even if public opinion is not aware of this. look at what's happening in syria. of course, we do not wish to see a military intervention there, but it might be necessary if certain forces lay their hands on chemical weapons, and so it would be interesting to hear your assessments of the situation. now, ahead of the e.u. summit on security, i'd like to hear from you op behalf the nato, would you call on europe to form european defense policy? military resources and budgets are dwindling, the u.k. and france have to make serious disastrous choices if we continue to operate in the national flags only, we will not have a credible defense policy in europe so the time has come to pull our resources, particularly, in the light of dwindling budgets, but this is not a discourse that we hear in national parliaments when discussing the economic crisis. the fact is, thoug

. >> on tuesday, a new survey of european countries revealed failing support for the european union, against the background of the bureau's own debt crisis, only 45% of those asked had a positive view of the european union. the results from germany were different, in general germans were more upbeat than other europeans, but they agree on one thing, that they are dissatisfied with the job that political leaders are doing. >> also on tuesday, the news jolie hadina undergone a double mastectomy, taking the step after doctors told her she had an 85% chance of developing breast cancer. died of cancer six years ago, prompting her to undergo genetic testing. a growing number of women are using this scientific breakthrough and taking similar precautions. >> i think within the next few years, we will see a lot more technology coming through so people will be able to assess this even more accurately, maybe through taking drugs to decrease the risk. >> she had doctors reconstruct her breasts with implants. they say that by speaking out, she is raising awareness for women's issues beyond breast

and between nato and the european union. so in conclusion, the european council in december should showcase a europe that is both able to act, and willing to act. and it should encourage the european union and nato to do more together. to consult more. coordinate more. and cooperate more. to get us there will require strong logical resolve, including here in this house, as well as in national parliaments. i am confident that we can rise to the challenge. because we owe it to our taxpayers, and voters, to give them the best security that money can buy. and with that as an introduction, i look very much forward to a stimulating discussion this afternoon. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, secretary-general, for your speech and for myself, want to give my regards to you that you're able to come to us again and have this discussion.
