EU Army

The Polish MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski, chairman of the foreign relations committee of
the European Parliament is in favor of establishing one common EU military force.

He said this would enable intervention of units from Union countries in conflict situations in which NATO cannot or does not want to engage its forces.

The idea of creating EU units has been presented by the party of French president Sarkozy. Poland could contribute 10 thousand troops to this European contingent. Jacek Saryusz-Wolski reminded Poland should feel an obligation towards this initiative, being part of the G-6 group of the biggest countries of the Old Continent and a country with long experience in combat missions, including Iraq.

This, in turn, should find reflection in Poland's greater participation in the decision making process, according to Saryusz-Wolski.
