"Was the honourable Member referring to the question whether we recognised that the American action argued very strongly the case for us developing a common foreign and security policy? I totally agree with him on that issue. But perhaps I could go a stage further and say that what would be really damaging for the European Union would be if, having asserted the case for a common foreign and security policy, having argued the case for a European security and defence initiative, we were then to fall way short of our rhetoric in what we actually did. Because in those circumstances we would have had the worst possible effect on American public opinion as well as on our own. It would be the sort of action that would encourage the very unilateralist sentiments in the United States that he and I both deplore."@en1
