"Mr President, I would also like to wish Mr Titley luck with his report and I would like to add my support for it and for what Mr Titley said in his presentation on further work in this area. However, I have a number of problems with Mr Brok’s report. In my opinion it contains a fantastic amount of useful and important things, but the emphasis is wrong. Far too much weight has been placed on military security policy, while civil and economic security policy is left in the shadows. I consider that to be getting your priorities wrong, because in fact it is precisely this area in which the EU has a unique opportunity and some unique resources. You could say that the arena is now entirely open for us in this area. The USA is unilaterally prioritising military security policy. It is our strength to move into this field. We must use our trade agreements, our many contacts, etc. in the fight for peace, human rights and democracy. Unfortunately my own country has helped to prevent some of these opportunities, for example by not wishing to be part of renegotiating the Association Agreement with Israel. It is the Association Agreement that Israel is violating time after time. Finally, with regard to Iraq: what is the evidence that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction? I have now studied the flood of reports that have come in. I have read them in detail. The most powerful intelligence services in the world have worked towards this as their sole aim. There is not a shred of evidence. Why is that?"@en1
