". The Morillon report proposes a new, unitarian, centralised European security and defence architecture, which seems to be both unrealistic and outdated. In fact, the report is entirely consistent with the Community framework. It pays no attention to what should be the main principle, the free participation of countries and variable geometry of associations. There is only one reference to ‘constructive abstention’, the slight flexibility introduced by the Treaty of Amsterdam to preserve the general centralised framework. On the other hand, however, great emphasis is placed on the need to develop the competences of the existing European institutions and the inclusion of costs in the Community budget (Paragraphs 40, 56 and 57 of the resolution). The Iraq crisis has shown the extent to which this organisation was outdated. In any case, however, this report is not realistic, as it asserts both the competence of the national parliaments with regard to the use of national forces and that of the European Parliament in relation to approving operations. All that is contradictory. We have to choose. The only possible solution is for the nations to have greater authority and for their parliaments to bear the main responsibility. All the rest should follow on from that."@en1
