Europe's armies chided in report
France is heading an EU mission to beef up security in Chad
Europe's armed forces are underperforming and require Franco-British co-operation to meet future challenges, a think-tank has said.
An investigation by the International Institute For Strategic Studies found that only 2.7% of military personnel were ready for overseas operations.
In 2007 Europe had some 71,000 military personnel deployed overseas, out of nearly two million service personnel.
Europe needs a Franco-British impetus to deal with security crises, it says.
