The European Union<\/a> needs its own army to help address the problem that it is not \u201ctaken entirely seriously\u201d as an international force, the president of the European commission has said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jean-Claude Juncker<\/a> said such a move would help the EU to persuade Russia that it was serious about defending its values in the face of the threat posed by Moscow.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

However, his proposal was immediately rejected by the British government, which said that there was \u201cno prospect\u201d of the UK agreeing to the creation of an EU army.<\/span><\/p>\n
