"The report is dominated by the developments following 11 September and their influence upon the European foreign and security policy. I am of course pleased about the EU foreign ministers’ statement opposing military operations in Iraq and I endorse the statement that everything must be done to enable the UN inspectors to return unconditionally. I believe that international law must be upheld and any military intervention securely based upon a decision by the UN Security Council. The report contains a number of proposals I cannot support, including the proposal in paragraph 11 to merge the office of Council High Representative for Foreign and Security Policy with that of the Commissioner responsible for these issues and to set up this new office in the Commission. Nor can I support the proposal in paragraph 23 about funding the joint costs of military operations within the framework of the ESDP from the Community budget, or paragraph 19 on a joint European armaments agency. Nor can I support paragraph 20 on strengthening the Member States’s defence budgets, the proposal in paragraph 14 to allow decision-making in the Council by qualified majority, or the rule on enhanced cooperation to allow those Member States which desire, and are able, to do so to take action without a joint decision’s having been made. I support neither the proposal in paragraph 26 concerning closer institutional relations between NATO and the EU, nor paragraph 12 concerning a European diplomatic corps."@en1
