lpv:translated text	". We uphold the view that a space policy based on cooperation between Member States should be clearly and unambiguously founded on the non-proliferation of weapons, the non-use of space for military purposes and a rejection of the arms race in space. We have therefore always denounced and criticised the United States for proposing to set up a National Missile Defence system (NMD), which will militarise the use of space and set off an arms race, with dire consequences for the future of all humankind. This report not only fails to criticise the militarisation of space, but even attributes a central role to a ‘European agency for Armaments, Research and Military Capabilities’, proposing a partnership between it and the European Space Agency and stressing the ‘dual nature of […] civil and military activities’ in space. The resolution also supports the military use of satellite systems in carrying out what it euphemistically terms ‘peacekeeping operations’, which means paving the way for war operations, thus going against the spirit of United Nations General Assembly Resolution No 49/74 of 15 December 1994 on prevention of an arms race in outer space, and in particular Article 4 thereof. We therefore voted against the resolution."@en1
