"Mr President, I should like to begin by congratulating Mr Saryusz-Wolski on his report concerning the European Union’s common foreign and security policy.
I agree with the rapporteur that it is not enough simply to speak of a common foreign policy. We have to prove that the European Union is prepared to adopt a common position on crucial issues. In relation to important matters such as the aggressive energy policy conducted by Russia, the events in Kosovo and the case of Tibet, the Union has recently demonstrated that the CFSP remains a distant goal. As long as the European Union allows its credibility on the international arena to be undermined, as in the aforementioned cases, and as long as individual Member States continue to act on a bilateral basis, implementation of the CFSP will continue to be merely an aim.
There is nothing to be gained from yet another provision on common policy if we do not begin to speak with one voice on matters of vital interest to Europe."@en1
