The most important of these was the North Atlantic Squadron, under Sampson; a Flying Squadron under Schley was also created during the war, and these two fought the Battle of Santiago (and Sampson and Schley began a bitter conflict that shook the Navy for several years).
On 29 December 1902 the North Atlantic Squadron was re-designated the North Atlantic fleet.
The Atlantic Fleet consisted of sixteen battleships and a cruiser squadron, the latter including one division of armoured and protected cruisers and one of "peace cruisers" (small old cruisers used mostly for showing the flag on distant stations).

In the case of justice and home affairs, the Amsterdam Treaty had transferred to the Community pillar most of the substance of the third pillar (except for criminal law), but that communitarisation was only partial, since the States insisted on retaining control of the decision-making process.
Part II of the Constitutional Treaty consists of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, which was drafted by a separate Convention as from December 1999 and solemnly proclaimed at the Nice European Council (December 2000) by the Council, the Commission and Parliament.
Part III of the Constitutional Treaty, which is by far the most voluminous, is devoted to the policies conducted by the Union and their scope, and to the functioning of the institutions in regard to them.

During the 30 years NATO and the EU have lived alongside each other, the two organisations and their respective officials have worked in splendid isolation, to all intents and purposes existing in different worlds.
Some Allies, particularly the United States, have been adamant that in any arrangement between the EU and NATO, the North Atlantic Alliance must retain the "right of first refusal"; that is, in any crisis situation, the EU should get involved only if NATO first determined that the Alliance as a whole would not act.
