schema:articleBody	EU defence ministers on Thursday approved the participation of NATO members the United States, Canada and Norway in a project aimed at speeding up the movement of troops around Europe. The decision marks the first time the bloc has opened up an initiative from its Permanent Structured Cooperation (PESCO) pact to involvement from outside nations. German Defence Minister Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer hailed the move as a "quantum leap in concrete cooperation when it comes to ensuring that troops can be deployed in Europe across national borders". "This is a very important topic, not only for the European Union, but also for NATO," she said. The push to ease troop transfers around the continent has gathered steam in the face of increased anxiety over Russian aggression since Moscow's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the joint project would make make the bloc's "defence more efficient and contribute to strengthen our security". The EU has designated 1.7 billion euros over the next seven years to helping bolster "military mobility" including by upgrading infrastructure like bridges, rail and roads. The Dutch-led project aims to cut bureaucratic waiting times for the cross-border movement of troops. "The admission of these three key EU partners and NATO allies to the EU project is of great significance to the transatlantic bond and will further contribute to enhance EU-NATO cooperation in this area," the Dutch defence ministry said. All but two EU nations signed up to the landmark PESCO agreement in 2017 to increase cooperation as the bloc's ambitions on common defence gained pace. EU defence ministers -- meeting in-person in Brussels for the first time in over a year -- were also to hold talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg. Debate has raged for decades over what role Brussels should play on defence, and EU member nations -- most of which are also NATO allies -- have often been reluctant to integrate military capabilities. The departure of Britain from the bloc saw the EU lose some military and diplomatic heft, but also removed from the Brussels conversation a fierce opponent of anything that might lead to a European army. del/dc/yad
