EU Defence Policy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the UK will continue to participate in the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence after the UK leaves the EU.

Answer

The UK supports the EU's Coordinated Annual Review on Defence (CARD) and has participated in the pilot stage. The CARD currently does not directly provide for Third Country involvement. However, the recent Political Declaration on the Future Relationship between the UK and the EU sets out our shared vision of close and lasting cooperation on external action, including cooperation on defence capabilities development.
