lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Baroness Ashton, Mr Šefčovič, regrettably, my group will not be voting in favour of the report on the European External Action Service (EEAS) tomorrow. I am sorry about this. We are not going to do so because, firstly, pressure from some member States has been yielded to during this very complex creation process and because, secondly, our political group has not succeeded in ensuring that what we believed to be essential when it came to structuring and supervising the EEAS in some way has been taken into account. From the outset, we did not want it to be transformed into a body, which would ensure that the European Parliament and national Parliaments had control, not only budgetary control, as has occurred in Madrid, but also parliamentary and political control. It should be recalled that we are the only democratically elected institution within the European Union. We were especially concerned that the military structures of the European Union, together with the civilian-military ones, formed part of the EEAS. We believe it to be an error to link the EEAS to institutions involving military personnel: the European Defence Agency and the Crisis Management and Planning Directorate, not to mention intelligence services. From our point of view, the scheduling, planning and implementation of financial instruments in particular, and instruments in general, should not come under the EEAS. We also believe that, given the substantial military orientation that the EEAS has – that is how we see it – the main civilian component of European policy with regard to foreign affairs can, and should, remain under the umbrella of European security and defence policy, specifically, everything relating to development cooperation and conflict resolution. As a result, regrettably, my group will not be voting in favour of this report, as it would appear not to resolve the essential issues. It is true that things moved on in Madrid: they moved on with regard to budgetary control. Nevertheless, we are all conscious that the European Parliament will not have the final word. Therefore, because of these considerations, my parliamentary group feels itself obliged to vote against this report."@en1
