If the Deputy looks at the protocols within the Lisbon treaty he will see that it deals with the European army and with defence spending as being matters for each member state. The Deputy spoke of Juncker and his European army. I do not agree with him; there will not be a European army. There are no provisions within PESCO for a European army.
