The report on progress with the CFSP is being debated to the sound of war drums beating on the other side of the Atlantic. The USA has stated that it is determined to proceed with its attack on Iraq, its aim being to control the oil supply in the area and impose its supremacy.
The report points the way for ΕU action: closer collaboration with the USA and stronger trans-Atlantic relations. Greater militarisation of ΕU institutions, more military spending by Member States, military action to prevent and manage crises. Alliances under the umbrella of ΝΑΤΟ and the orders of the USA in order to silence the people and anyone who gets in the way of their imperialist interests.
The EU's imperialist policy has already shown its face in Bosnia, Serbia, Afghanistan and elsewhere. The objections expressed so far to the EU's again becoming involved in an attack on Iraq are objections by imperialist interests and hence objections to the unilateral nature of the action by the USA rather than the war itself. We are worried that the ΕU is prepared to take part in this dirty imperialist war if it is promised a share of the spoils.
We say no to war. We want peace, de-escalation and disarmament. We are fighting alongside the people of Europe to put a stop to more imperialist wars. The Communist Party of Greece will be voting against the Brok report."@en1
