lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, on behalf of the Union for Europe of the Nations Group, I would like to congratulate Mr Schmid on his competent and skilful work, and also to praise Mr Coelho, who conducted the debates and organised this work in a very courteous manner. We cannot, however, accept the political conclusion of the report, and we will therefore vote against it, and I call upon all my fellow Members to do the same. As previous speakers have mentioned, the report confirmed the existence of a US espionage system, operated by the Americans in collusion with two Member States, in breach of Article 6 of the Treaty on European Union and of the most basic rules on respect for one’s private life, a system which involves intensive industrial espionage to the benefit of American companies. The report has shown that the European firms Siemens, Dassault, Phillips, Thomson and Airbus were the targets of espionage, and this has consequently had a serious effect on employment in Europe, on our commercial stability and on Europe’s defence industries. Most of the Members in this House from the United Kingdom have put solidarity with the US before solidarity with Europe. This is something we regret, but the report does not answer two fundamental questions. The first is, although it has been established that at least one country, the United Kingdom, has been involved in espionage activity against Europe, in breach of the Treaty on European Union, what sanctions must we take? This is the first question, which remains unanswered. The second question is that the Committee’s work has demonstrated perfectly well that, as long as we are within NATO, and as long as we are tied to using NATO’s technical and logistical resources, an independent European and common security policy will not be possible. This is something we deplore. The conclusion of the report is quite simply disquieting."@en1
