JUNE DICKIE (DAILY MAIL):
On 16 Mr. Goulden.
Sin D Miers
Mr. Mclaren
Secretary of State, in your reference to burden-sharing, you seemed to be satisfied with the present level, but one hears of the Danes, for example, freezing their defence budget for two years. there not a concern that the wrong signal is going to Washington that the Europeans are not prepared, really, to pay their way for
the defence of Europe?

FOREIGN SECRETARY:
I think that signals are constantly being emitted by every
country in the Alliance to others
-
it is not just a question of
transatlantic signals and the signal that locked like emerging from Denmark a few weeks ago was one that would have stood in the way of continued practical cooperation between Denmark and the other
allies.
Bow that signal has been extinguished and I think one must be grateful for that and acknowledge that the climate of
opinion in an alliance of sixteen democratic countries is bound to
fluctuate from time to time.
