I would just say briefly, sir, that I think on the defence co-operation side, that's a very important tool. It is a diplomatic tool, confidence-building, but also we can be greater than the sum of the parts, depending on the context. The ideal European defence posture going forward looks a bit like the latter part of the Cold War, where there were different national units along the inner German border. Obviously, as you'd know very well, that's not necessarily that militarized, but Germans, Canadians, French and Brits working together. That's the ideal, I think, that we want to move towards. We should think about Europe being SACEUR in the future, to give more strength to that politically.
