".
The proposal, advocated by the rapporteur, to promote a European-level defence market and to ensure that such a market will be free and competitive, whilst of course respecting the specific characteristics of the sector, is one that I welcome and support. Accordingly, my vote is, without any hesitation, in favour.
Of the many aspects that I could highlight, there is one that warrants particular focus. The defence market is one in which investment in research and development is of key importance. All of these proposals must be matched by European determination to modernise, to become more competitive and to invest in technological development, which is an important lever in economic development. Given that investment in a defence market is only possible if a clear choice has been made to make that investment, the reasons for voting in favour are even more compelling."@en1
