France succeeds in blocking spending any of a new €150 billion EU defence fund on British defence companies. The money cannot be used to buy weapons from Britain, the US or Turkey but only from EU arms companies.
The fund could consider purchasing British weapons if UK signs a security pact with Brussels. But, inexplicably, France has tied this to more French fishing rights in UK waters.
So even when the security of Europe is at stake, the usual French protectionism takes precedence. The UK has the only European arms industry to rival France. Excluding the UK is entirely to France’s benefit, though not to the most effective defence of the EU
