In spite of CFSP, the UK maintains sovereignty where it matters - Foreign Policy and Defence. Neither the EU nor NATO can commit UK personnel to any sort of military operations without express UK approval and there is absolutely no appetite to change this. Moreover, the UK retains the unalieinable right to engage in treaties with other States. In spite of the Daily Outrage headlines, there are no moves to creat a European Army or even European Police Force (the Euro-Gendarmerie is a virtual body, with no powers within Europe).
