Strategic Defence Review = more EU

Buried away at the back of the Strategic Defence and Security Review ....

Britain will "make an effective contribution to the European border agency, Frontex".

"Ensure the new EU budget ... targets funding at key security challenges facing the EU".

"Work to ensure that EU civil protection arrangements focus on shared risk assessment and prevention ... and maximise awareness of critical infrastructure dependencies".

"Support EU missions - whether military or civilian ..." [presumably with the reapportioned third of the DfID budget?]

Good to see that there's been a change of policy, as well as government, since May.
