"The Danish Social Democrats support the proposal for a European defence and security policy, which is to be discussed at the Feira Summit in Portugal in June 2000. The proposal includes both visionary and rational proposals for a common defence and security policy. There are, nonetheless, a couple of areas where the Danish Social Democrats believe that care ought to be exercised. Careful consideration ought to be given to the way in which the European Parliament is to be involved in the area of defence and security policy. We are uneasy about the European Parliament’s influence in this area, for we believe that defence and security policy is predominantly an intergovernmental matter. The proposal paves the way for the increased use of majority decision-making, over and above what is laid down in the Treaty of Amsterdam in connection with a common defence and security policy. We see no reason for extending majority decision-making into this area. With regard to necessary future investments in new technology and new equipment for the military, we think that these should be made possible through changes to the order of priorities in the national defence budgets. There is no need to increase the overall European defence budgets. We would also refer to the Danish reservation concerning common action in the defence sphere."@en1
