within the Community to work for a successful outcome.
15. The British commitment to the Community is demonstrated
every day in Brussels, in member states and in the conduct
of the Community's external relations. Our contribution to
European political cooperation is second to none. We were centrally involved in drawing up the sections of the Single
European Act dealing with cooperation on foreign policy and are actively engaged at every level in the formulation and
presentation of the Twelve's views on international issues.
The way in which the Twelve move together and support each
other commands respect throughout the world. One striking
recent example was the heartening, firm response by all
partners to the death threat issued by Iran against the
British author, Salman Rushdie. The Twelve acted together
a powerful signal of our knowledge that a threat to freedom
is a threat which affects us all.
