"‘
’ (‘If you wish for peace, prepare for war’) said the ancients. Fortunately, the days of arms races are now over. Nonetheless, the principle that inspired the Latin phrase is still relevant today. There can be no serious and credible commitment to peace if the conditions are not in place to enforce it, in accordance with serious, objective rules.
In particular, without seeking to interfere in every dispute that may arise, the EU, as a major economic and political power, should make its presence felt in cases involving interests of any kind or nature, if necessary, also by using military means to restore order and re-establish peaceful conditions, as a precondition for resolving conflicts. It follows that greater autonomy, together with a closer link with NATO and with the other existing bodies, can only increase Europe’s authority, credibility and cohesion."@en1
