lpv:translated text	"Madam President, General Morillon has written an interesting and credible report. Certain parts of it are likely to influence the Convention. Europe’s defence industries are the key to the development of the common European defence policy, which is to be part and parcel of transatlantic cooperation. A vigorous European defence industry, based on advanced research and healthy competition, must be preserved and developed. We should try to abolish protectionism in all trade, including the trade in arms, and get the United States fully to open up its arms market. The current system is inefficient and expensive. Taxpayers are entitled to demand that euro be used in the most effective way possible. That, in turn, requires us to think European. A common bureau for defence equipment and resources is an absolute necessity. Do European taxpayers really think that having to pay for the development of three new ultra-modern war planes is rational and efficient? European defence industries are in danger of becoming assembly plants instead of places of high-tech research. Europe would in that case become weaker and more dependent. I cannot under any circumstances believe, however, that we should become stronger without Great Britain. Let us now focus upon what is constructive and build upon common definitions and methods. Only with a larger budget for defence equipment and a European research-oriented defence industry within the framework of a common defence policy can we become a credible, effective and reliable partner of the United States."@en1
