March 4 2001 EUROPE French seek wider role for EU army Stephen Grey, Brussels THE French foreign minister, Hubert Védrine, has called for the European defence force to have its own intelligence operation, free from Nato control. His comments appear to undermine British attempts to play down the independence of the new organisation. Védrine's call came as it emerged that the EU hopes to declare its military staff ready to handle small operations by December. The full rapid-reaction force of 60,000 troops will not be in place until 2003. "The European Union must have a minimum of means of observation, information, analysis and evaluation as well as elements of operational planning," Védrine told The Sunday Times. "The EU should have its own capability and this is also in Nato's interests." Védrine insisted that the force, although complementary to Nato, would be autonomous. He said the EU had agreed that some operations be planned without Nato - and therefore American - involvement. [snip] sunday-times.co.uk
