lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I want to congratulate Mr Brok on the vigorously pan-European approach he has adopted both in his intervention and in his report. I concur with his arguments about enlargement. He notes that the accession negotiations involving twelve new Member States have proved to be the most effective instrument for stabilising the Mediterranean area, together with Central and Eastern Europe. The priority now is to do all we can to strengthen the conditions for freedom and peace in Europe. Mr Brok’s report also discusses the post of High Representative for the CFSP. I think that the present ‘relationship’ is unsustainable in the long term. It is an exciting debate we are having this evening. I welcome the unanimity and frankness with which, as MEPs, we are now discussing the Lalumière report on the European Union’s security and defence policy. If they are to be credible, I believe it is important for the Members of the Council to say the same thing in Brussels and the EU as they do in their own countries. In country, Sweden, there is a Foreign Minister who demands that there should be a UN mandate for EU operations. The debate in Sweden is very much about the extent to which Sweden, as a Member of the EU, is a neutral country. Astounding, but true. I also believe it is extremely important for those ambitions which the EU is now expressing to be backed by practical resources. Otherwise, they are in danger of becoming nothing but empty words. Finally, I want to point out how important it is for the political leaders of the European Union to involve the people of Europe in these important and far-reaching plans by making it clear to them how very ambitious the plans now are."@en1
