Defence The creation of a European Union military procurement and project co-ordination body is threatened by a row over voting rights. Talks between national teams establishing the European Defence Agency (EDA) are understood to have stalled over the right to retain national vetoes. The agency's creation team, led by Nick Whitney, has been suspended and the matter referred to foreign ministers. It remains unclear how the voting process of the agency's steering board, comprising member states' defence ministers, Whitney and a European Commission representative, will work.
