lpv:translated text	". I abstained from voting in the final vote on the report, which was adopted by 275 votes in favour and 96 against, with 11 abstentions. I voted against the imprecise paragraph to the effect that ‘the Union's foreign and security policy’ must be ‘backed up by credible political, economic and military capabilities, supplied by Member States and NATO’. The wording might entail neutral states having to supply military capability. To propose that military efforts be financed through Community funds or to apply the enhanced cooperation method within the military sphere would be wrong roads to go down. Certain Member States would then be able to form a military alliance within the EU. Nor could I support the proposal that ‘within the framework of a future reform of the United Nations, the European Union should be allocated a permanent seat on the UN Security Council’. At present, the EU has two permanent members of the Security Council: Great Britain and France. It would weaken Europe’s role in the UN if these nations’ two votes were to be replaced by a single EU vote. The report seeks to bind the EU’s defence industry and military organisations more closely together. This should not however take place at the expense of NATO but, instead, through Europe’s increased acceptance of responsibility within the Atlantic Pact, for example through its taking over responsibility for the operation in Afghanistan."@en1
