PARIS (AP) —
France says Europe needs stronger defense capabilities, with more helicopters, transport aircraft and space-based surveillance.

Kouchner says Europe also needs to build its abilities to safeguard its sea lanes.
Kouchner was speaking Monday at a conference on strengthening ties between the 27-nation EU and NATO.
