Why not start now to overcome the traditional tension between NATO and the EU – especially as French policy toward NATO under President Nicolas Sarkozy has been moving in the right direction? A regular mutual presence of the Secretary General of NATO and of the head of EU foreign policy in the councils of both organizations doesn’t require much time and effort.
既然如此，欧洲人还在等待什么？为什么不从现在就开始改变北约与欧盟之间传统的紧张局面—特别是在萨科奇总统主持下的法国对北约的政策正向着正确方向发展的情况下？让北约的秘书长和欧盟外交政策的领导人定期相互出席对方组织相关委员会的会议并不需要花多少时间和精力。
