After an inspector is sent out, why is his or her decision overruled?
The EU plans to send more than 4,000 troops to Chad under the command of the Irish officer, Pat Nash, to protect refugees. However, there have been delays due to a lack of helicopters, aircraft, field hospitals, etc. I congratulate the Ministers for Foreign Affairs and Defence on their efforts in facilitating our commitment to send troops, but I call on the EU defence Ministers to press the matter to ensure support for the decision.
