translate English to French: Although steps have indeed been taken and cooperation deepened in certain areas in the past few years, improvements are still required as important aspects of the overall cooperation framework, like the NAC-PSC meetings, too often end up being nothing more than mere presentations followed by rather hollow discussions and the Berlin Plus arrangements have already proved too narrow a structure for an effective partnership to develop.
Il en est résulté une dose d’introspection et d’ambiguïté stratégique qui n’a rien fait pour faciliter la construction d’un cadre durable pour la coopération transatlantique et notamment pour clarifier les relations OTAN-UE.
