NATO and its former adversaries face renewed uncertainties
BANFF. CANADA. May 17: Legislators from the 16 NATO allies and 11 former adversaries, meeting In the heart of Canadas Rockey mountains Saturday, found that instead of celebrating the end of the cold war. they faced renewed uncertainties, reports AFP.
The participation of delegations from six former Soviet republics and four former WARSAW Pact member states for the first time at a meeting of the North Atlantic Assembly (NAA) had been billed as a friendship and unity meeting by organizers who saw it as a first step towards possible expansion of the NATO alliance.
The NAA is the parliamentary wing of the Brussels-based North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).
But. instead of concentrating on a new-found unity, many delegates were openly con-
cerned about a possible break-up of NATO and renewed threats of US isolationism.
British Labour MP Bruce George, in a report on behalf of the assembly's political committee, warned that an announced Canadian withdrawal of Itj troops from Germany, to be completed in 1994. could "embolden those voices in Washington urging reductions far below the 150,000 force level planned for fiscal 1995".
In addition. George warned, there is growing *entlment in the United State*, especially with an election campaign under way. for the US military commitment to Europe to be linked to a successful conclusion of stalemated world trade liberalization negotiations. *
Those negotiations — which should have been completed by the end of 1990 — have
been blocked primarily over US demands mat the 12 nation European Community (EC) substantially cut and eventually eliminate farm export subsidies."
George warned Ihat Europe was not yet ready for any large-scale US withdrawal from Europe.
"An Independent European defense," warned George, "remains far In the distance and Its future effectiveness, If any (is) hardly settled."
He maintained "all the outstanding Issues" —‘ such as the precise nature of forces tn a PanEuropean operation, their ability to operate outside the European theater, and their relationship with NATO as such — "remain unanswered."
Yet there were *till strong threats to the US commitment to the alliance.
George quoted US Republican Senator William Roth as saying that NATO's "general failure to address Itself to a radically changed global security environment has rendered the rational for an ongoing US commitment to NATO more and more open to question."
This prompted Roth to tell the meeting that he believed "NATO is just as vital now, if not more so, than It was during the told war" because of continued regional Instability.
■ But he warned that NATO would have to adapt if it hoped to meet such challenges of the 1990's as Yugoslavia and the Middle East.
He did concede that many members of the US congress would make some linkage between the US role in NATO and any failure of the trade liberalization talks being carried out within the General Agree ment on Tariffs and Trade.
