"Mr President, Europe is in the unique position of not having any enemies who threaten it militarily. This might therefore be the time for extensive military disarmament in Europe but, in reality, rearmament is taking place. Nor is this new military force of 50 000 to 60 000 men to be used within the EU’s own territories. There is, in fact, no common defence commitment. Rather, it is a question of operating outside the EU’s borders. It is about intervention. Some might even go so far as to say that attacks may actually be mounted one of these days.
I am concerned about statements to the effect that the EU should be able to intervene anywhere in the world where there are threats to the Union’s security, interests and values. To me, it sounds as if, in this area too, the EU has the United States’ superpower policy as a model for its development."@en1
