The message of all EU 27 Foreign Ministers is clear:

Chemical weapons remain a threat to humanity.
My message to #RevCon5: all states must strengthen the #ChemicalWeaponsConvention. Upholding the global norm against the use of chemical weapons is crucial to international peace and security.

Important exchange today with EU Military Committee in format of 27 Chiefs of Defence on most important developments in area of security and defence.

No time to spare.
Together with @ThierryBreton, we've convened the whole EU defence #ammunition and missile industry to define the way forward to ramp-up production.
