“The European Union needs its own army to help address the problem that it is not ‘taken entirely seriously’ as an international force, the president of the European commission has said.  Jean-Claude Juncker said such a move would help the EU to persuade Russia that it was serious about defending its values in the face of the threat posed by Moscow. Juncker, a longstanding advocate of an EU army, said getting member states to combine militarily would make spending more efficient and would encourage further European integration.  A spokesman for Ukip said Juncker’s comments vindicated warnings that his party had been giving about the direction of EU policy for years.”
