"Belgium said Tuesday that it would go ahead with plans to build a European military command headquarters near Brussels next year despite opposition from the United States and Britain.(...) In December 1999, the EU heads of state agreed that by the end of 2003 member states would be prepared to deploy up to 60,000 troops in EU-led military operations and that the union would eventually build the infrastructure necessary to direct such operations."

I would like Britain to join this initiative...
