"One of the EU’s more spurious claims of self-justification is that it has maintained peace in Europe since 1945. In fact, NATO is largely responsible for keeping the peace in Europe since the Second World War.
There is a strong anti-American lobby in the European Parliament. That is to be greatly regretted, because America’s selfless contribution to rescuing Europe in the 1940s and keeping peace in Europe ever since is often obscured by anti-US propaganda. America’s part in our collective security is, and will remain, vital.
Of course, there are crossovers regarding the work of NATO and the EU, but they are two fundamentally different organisations. Any effort by the EU to usurp NATO’s primacy and responsibility for transatlantic security is to be strongly resisted.
I therefore elected to abstain."@en1
