Common Foreign and Defence Policy [second pillar] Failure in Bosnia US isolationism save money re: procurement save money on diplomats speak with one voice be more powerful Us Brits fight best|| We won the war!! No common friends no common foes only common interests!! Rapid Response Force

Justice and Home Affairs [third pillar] Where did this come from? Organised crime drugs terrorism antiques immigration Need for common laws human rights judicial procedures England and Wales have different system Scotland like North Europe Southern Europe changing?
