"The EU must define the broad thrust of its common foreign and security policy (CFSP) in the light of growing global instability. I am pleased to see that the report emphasises the need to involve Parliament in the process. As representatives of the interests of European citizens, we need to contribute to defining a European defence policy. The European Union’s fundamental aims include defending peace, human rights and democracy. The promotion of our values must be based on an ambitious external action and diplomacy strategy. The Treaty of Lisbon has given the Union a voice through the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy/Vice-President of the Commission. Our CFSP cannot tolerate division. This vote is therefore a call for improved coordination between all institutions: the European External Action Service, the European Commission, the Member States and, of course, the European Parliament. In a changing world, our Union needs to be more than a purely economic Union. We have a historical obligation to make it a political Union. The CFSP should be one of the vehicles used to achieve that. This is the message that Parliament wanted to convey and I support this position."@en1
