"Mr President, there are two words that spring to mind to describe where we find ourselves today with regard to the common foreign and security policy. Unfortunately, they are not very nice words. The ones I think of are ‘mess’ and ‘a bit of a joke’. Unfortunately, it is rather a sick joke.
In the last 15 months – a period that has presented ample opportunities throughout the world to prove its credentials – our so-called common policy has failed to make any positive impact. I say that not as a great aficionado of foreign affairs, but I have to answer my constituents as to what does Europe add in value to us? It is of real concern to them that the cost of delivering this common policy is not being carefully allocated and not being carefully accounted for.
I have to answer my citizens about what service this is giving them, and I still, after the lengthy debates on these reports, struggle to come up with an answer."@en1
