Abstract

The article discusses about reservations and conditions kept by various countries of Europe and role of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) in the formation of European Union (EU) . It discusses how four weak governments met under heavy pressure at London, England and finally resolved to create a strong entity at Lisbon, Portugal. This validated the concepts of EU and western unity. One contentious issue was the contribution of Germany and France to the defense budget of EU. Other issues argued were : release of war criminals, security concerns regarding production of weapons by Germany, membership of Germany to the NATO.
