REVEALED: Shock strategy Brussels will use to LURE member-states into EU army

The European Union will persuade other member-states to join by grounding it in economic efficiency.  Jo Leinen, a German MEP, dropped the shock revelation yesterday, claiming the policy of national armies cannot continue for much longer.

It comes as , plans to set up an EU army by the end of the year to fight back against "destabilisation around Europe".

Mr Leinen told Peter von Kohl, eureporters correspondent in Strasbourg: The EU is a soft power, and our foreign policy is based on trade, humanitarian aid, climate protection.

But, we do not have enough hard power, so in a time of crisis, we will not have enough. The EU has no army, they don't even have weapons.

Now is the right time to add security and defence to the EU dynamic.

There is a consensus that the EU needs some hard power - like in Mali, Central African Republic, Somalia, where soft power does not go far. The German politician went on to explain how the EU will justify this move towards.

He said: Of course, we can continue with an internal market for research, development, and military goods. But really it's incredible how much the member states spent individually, how much was wasted, how low efficiency, that cannot continue.

It must be coordinated and synthesised by Brussels. His fellow MEP Elmar Brok echoed these remarks before he hit out at member-states and their foreign ministers for not giving enough room to the EU foreign affairs representative.

He also suggested that Federica Mogherini, the current High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs, was not courageous enough to demand these powers.
