Twenty-five EU nations have contributed troops to NATO’s 35,000-strong army in Afghanistan, and now represent more than half of all troops. EU states command a third of all Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs), and, together with the European Commission, have paid for a third of the country’s post-2001 reconstruction.
在纸面上，欧盟似乎做出了很大的努力。有25个欧盟国家派兵参加了北约在阿富汗35000人的强有力的部队，差不多占现在全部驻军的一半。欧盟国家指挥着三分之一的省级重建队，并且和欧盟委员会一起支付了这个国家在2001年三分之一的重建费用。
