September 16, 2021 "The EU had not been informed of the alliance between the US-UK and Australia. We are in contact with partners to find out more and we need to discuss it with EU member states to understand the implications". This was stated by the spokesman of the European External Action Service, Peter Stano, in response to a question.
"We are in contact with the partners we are analyzing the implications of this alliance, but this does not affect the bilateral relations with the partners in question" on the various dossiers, said the spokeswoman of the Community Executive, Dana Spinant.
The spokesperson explained among other things that the president, Ursula von der Leyen, "will participate tomorrow in a discussion organized by President Biden on energy and climate".
The new alliance announced yesterday "between the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia to counter Chinese influence in the Indo-Pacific region" will have no effect on bilateral relations with our partners, neither in foreign policy nor on trade ", Dana Spinant said, in the daily press briefing,
