Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen spoke to a committee of the European Parliament about the role of NATO and the future of European Union (EU) defense policy. In his comments he said that the EU needed to back up its diplomacy with military efforts so as not to lose its credibility and influence in the world.
