lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I am very grateful to the person who submitted the oral questions for creating the opportunity, before the Feira Summit, to debate the CFSP, which is shrouded in mystery. Its lack of transparency is characterised by a multitude of initiatives and ever changing coalitions. I would nonetheless like to try to make a few observations. First of all, I wonder whether the creation of a European identity is backed by sound motives. I would like to stress that we should not be guided by power motives. If we only focus on a strong role for Europe on the world stage, then we have got it all wrong. It is not about power, but about taking responsibility. This cannot be done without joining forces with NATO as the latter has all the necessary resources available. I should also like to warn against all too unrealistic expectations as far as cooperation between the Member States in this respect is concerned. A realistic view of the current developments in Europe shows that paper declarations from St. Malo, Cologne and Helsinki have so far not been accompanied by real security guarantees. The required “firm political commitment on the part of all Member States” of Paragraph 19 of the resolution is lacking. These brief comments do not detract from the fact that it is important to include this subject on the IGC agenda. We need plain agreements on competencies in this field. And as far as we are concerned, these are still mainly within the national state."@en1
