U.K.'s Hague Signals Confusion on EU, NATO Roles

A year after explaining that a future Conservative government would be "highly
active and activist in European affairs," British
foreign secretary William Hague signaled quite the contrary when he appeared before a parliamentary committee in March.
His comments showed a worrying misunderstanding of the
capacities of the two key European institutions of which the U.K. is a
member -- the European Union and NATO.
