Men jeg er alvorligt bekymret over at give EU flere statslige attributter, hvilket Tjenesten for EU's Optræden Udadtil indebærer, hvis det yderligere reducerer mit lands evne til at føre sin egen uafhængige udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik, når det er i vores egen nationale interesse at gøre det.
However, I have serious worries about granting the EU more trappings of statehood, which the EAS signifies, if it further reduces my country’s ability to conduct its own independent foreign and security policy when it is in our own national interest to do so.
