He answers the following questions: How does your government view the importance of nuclear deterrence and NATO’s nuclear sharing agreement for its own security and European security? In the view of your government: What difference does Germany’s participation in nuclear sharing make? (Why) is Germany important in nuclear sharing? What would be the plausible/probable effects within NATO and for European security, if Germany were to leave nuclear sharing?
