EEAS High Representative

C. Ashton undresses the military. Uniforms prohibited in the corridors

FullMontyReview(BRUSSELS2) Instructions were given today (16 December) to the European military to be as discreet as possible during the meeting of EU Foreign Ministers. While the question of the Rep. Central African Republic will be the subject of a debate at the beginning of the afternoon, from 15 p.m., the cabinet of the High Representative Catherine Ashton passed on the instruction: the soldiers in post can come - as it is the usual - in the listening room, at the Justus Lipsius, seat of the Council of Ministers. But without a uniform! In civilian clothes. History probably to make more "global approach" and to forget the failure of sending a battlegroup. What will be the next step: that the soldiers come in undress?
