欧盟与英国在布鲁塞尔举行安全与防务对话:卡拉斯盼两周内推进英国参与欧盟任务协议

欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表兼欧盟委员会副主席 Kaja Kallas 11月2日在布鲁塞尔与英国国防大臣 Wes Streeting 举行欧盟—英国安全与防务对话。两人会前共同会见记者,欧盟防务专员 Andrius Kubilius 也参加了当天与英方的会谈。
Kallas 表示,英国是欧洲安全的重要伙伴,双方正共同应对混合威胁与外国信息操弄,并在制裁方面保持密切协作。她说,希望推进一项框架参与协议,让英国能够参与欧盟的民事与军事任务,并表示距离11月20日的欧盟—英国峰会只剩两周时间。
Streeting 表示,在新的威胁时代,加强合作能增强欧洲安全并威慑对手。他说,会谈聚焦俄罗斯在欧洲的持续侵略行为,包括混合攻击,以及欧洲在向乌克兰提供军事支持方面日益增长的责任;双方还讨论了欧洲防务工业基础的前景,他主张欧洲须大幅扩大防务工业产能。
Streeting 同时警告,欧盟拟推行的「欧洲制造」安排不能滑向保护主义,否则会损害其自身目标,成为「自我挫败的保护主义」。谈到欧盟「欧洲安全行动」(SAFE)防务贷款计划时,他说外界仍在讨论是否推出第二期以及适用条件为何,这一问题在峰会前尚无定论。他还说,英国脱离欧盟确实打击了英国经济。
Kubilius 表示,英国是建设欧洲安全的重要伙伴,会谈涉及加强对乌克兰的支持以及防务工业方面的密切合作。Streeting 当天晚些时候还前往柏林,与德国国防部长 Boris Pistorius 会谈。
欧盟与英国去年已签署安全与防务伙伴关系。11月20日,欧盟与英国将在布鲁塞尔举行峰会,防务与安全合作是主要议题之一。

EU and UK Hold Security and Defence Dialogue in Brussels: Kallas Seeks Progress on UK Role in EU Missions Within Two Weeks
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and European Commission Vice-President Kaja Kallas held an EU-UK Security and Defence Dialogue in Brussels on November 2 with UK Secretary of State for Defence Wes Streeting. The two spoke to reporters ahead of the meeting, and EU Defence Commissioner Andrius Kubilius also took part in talks with the British side that day.
Kallas said the United Kingdom is a vital partner for European security, that the two sides are working together to counter hybrid threats and foreign information manipulation, and that close cooperation on sanctions is continuing. She said she wanted to see progress on a framework participation agreement allowing UK participation in EU civilian and military missions, noting that there were two weeks to go until the EU-UK summit on November 20.
Streeting said that in a new era of threat, working together strengthens Europe's security and deters adversaries. He said the discussions focused on Russia's continued aggression across Europe, including hybrid attacks, and on Europe's growing responsibility for providing military support to Ukraine. The two sides also looked at the future of Europe's defence industrial base, with Streeting arguing that Europe needs to expand its industrial capacity significantly.
Streeting also warned that the EU's proposed Made in Europe drive must not spread into self-defeating protectionism that would undermine its own goals. On the EU's Security Action for Europe (SAFE) defence loans scheme, he said there was discussion over whether there would be a second phase and under which conditions, but that the issue was not settled ahead of the summit. He also said there was no doubt that leaving the EU had hit the British economy.
Kubilius said the UK was a crucial partner in building European security, with the talks covering stronger support for Ukraine and close cooperation on the defence industry. Streeting was due to travel on to Berlin later on Monday for talks with German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius.
The EU and the UK signed a Security and Defence Partnership last year. The two sides will hold a summit in Brussels on November 20, with defence and security cooperation among the main topics.
