"Some of the contents of this report are, from certain perspectives, worrying. In essence, it confirms many of the warnings and alerts that we made as the Treaty of Lisbon was being debated and then brought into force: an irrefutable course of EU militarisation is under way, and it is now being accelerated and intensified. The militarisation of the EU does not serve peace or the interests of the people. The transformation of the EU into a European pillar of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), as advocated by the Treaty of Lisbon, entails involvement in conflict zones at international level. This is within a framework of collaboration with the United States, which assumes leadership in the process of affirming an imperial hegemony and guaranteeing the control of markets and resources, some of which are becoming increasingly scarce.
As affirmed by the proposed amendments made by the Confederal Group of the European United Left – Nordic Green Left, the military interventions, supposedly undertaken in order to stabilise certain countries or regions, are on the wrong track. Instead of stabilising these countries and regions, they destabilise them. Instead of resolving problems, they exacerbate them. The situation in Libya is another example of this, to add to those of Afghanistan and Iraq. The development of the common security and defence policy (CSDP) serves the interests of the EU’s industrial-military complex, but not the interests of the people or of peace."@en1
