Germany’s lower house of parliament on Friday approved government plans to join the military campaign against Islamic State in Syria.

Of the 598 lawmakers who took part in the vote, 445 voted for, 146 against and seven abstained.

The mission will include sending six Tornado reconnaissance jets, a frigate to help protect the French aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle, refueling aircraft and up to 1,200 military personnel. Germany will not join countries like Britain, France, the United States and Russia in conducting airstrikes.

        France wants the help of the other EU countries to fight terrorism.
        All EU Member States responded to the request with a tentative “yes”, except Sweden….

        French President Francois Hollande wanted on Monday evening that the EU will introduce the so-called security guarantees.

        The Treaty of Lisbon, Article 42.7 – Never previously applied.
        The article commits the member countries to help if one of them is attacked militarily.
        It is the first time in EU history that a country asks for military assistance.

        France should take up the matter at the EU’s defense ministers.

        Diplomatic sources compare the security guarantees with the military alliance NATO’s Article Five, which is the basis for military cooperation within NATO.
