Eurocrat excited with a daring defensive strategy (9,6)
I believe the answer is:
rearguard action
'defensive strategy' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'eurocrat excited with a daring' is the wordplay.
'excited with' indicates an anagram.
'a'+'daring'='adaring'
'eurocrat' with its letters mixed up with 'adaring' gives 'REARGUARD ACTION'.
