This report is the result of a broad consensus between the political forces of the right and the social democrats on developing the common foreign and security policy and militarising the European Union.
Among the many points justifying our outright rejection of this report, I would like to highlight the following. They come as no surprise:
the report ‘welcomes’ the ‘European security strategy’ presented at the Thessaloniki European Council. This strategy overtly sanctions the doctrine of military intervention, in accordance, furthermore, with the new strategic role of NATO;
the report talks of militarising the EU in the interests of so-called ‘transatlantic relations’, seeking a ‘partnership’ between the EU and the USA so as to dominate and divide up the world;
it ‘welcomes the fact that strengthening military capabilities’ has been enshrined as an objective of the so-called ‘European Constitution’, and that a European armaments agency has been set up as a central plank in the process of militarising the EU.
It also attempts to restrict the sovereignty of each Member State in the field of foreign policy, referring to every Member State’s supposed ‘Constitutional commitment’ to refrain from adopting a national position before the EU has had the opportunity to establish a European position.
For the rest, this report imitates the USA’s positions on most of the issues which currently dominate the world stage."@en1
