According to our Foreign Office (the minister made a speech today about our foreign policy in next 3-4 years including our turn to lead the EU in 2012) France and Germany are seen as strategic partners whatever it means.

I believe it has much to do to our efforts to increase EU military power - a part in the efforts to double-tripple secure our safety.
Our part in the mission in Chad has much to do with it, I guess.

Personally I see a number of areas where we could ally ourself with France - temporary alliances in the inter-EU policy - most likely the common agricultural policy is the first such area.
