The latest rumours suggest that the UN and the EU have each finished their negotiations with each other, settling on going no further in their mooted plans to integrate the European security sector into a more holistic global sphere than previously achieved.
The conversations were said to be simple, and non-committal at first, and it’s thought by some this led to breakaways from later stages of talks that might have resulted in just more coordination. The technicalities are said to be too many to be surmountable at this time.
The two are not necessarily well-known as partners – or bedfellows – in this sort of arrangement. If anything, the UN is seen as superior and the EU distant or remote, so much so it makes it difficult for the two to at least come together.
The theory that both are separate powers in the general military realm is now gaining pace, and it may build as a concept in the near future. However, the competing differences are just too much for a novel alliance in the first place.
