<p>As a leading member of the EU, the UK is a major influence on EU external policy
and is able to shape the use of the EU’s available policy tools to enhance our security:
for example, sanctions policy in respect of Russia and Iran and capacity building
support to the states of the Western Balkans. I am in no doubt that Britain’s leading
role in this process greatly contributes to the effectiveness of EU policy initiatives
and thus maintaining peace and stability in Europe and beyond. All of that would be
lost if Britain were to leave the European Union. I am clear that Britain is stronger,
safer more prosperous inside the EU than it would be outside.</p>
