US MISSILE DEFENSE BASE IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC

That this House regrets the signing on 8th July by the United States administration and the government of the Czech Republic of a treaty to locate a US Missile Defense radar base in the Czech Republic; notes that the proposed base would work in tandem with the Menwith Hill communications base and the radar facility at RAF Fylingdales; fears that the location of those US-controlled Missile Defense facilities in Eastern Europe would further heighten tension between NATO and Russia; and further notes that Russia has repeatedly made clear its view that such a facility would be regarded as a threat to its national security.
