"Mr President, it is more than 60 years since Winston Churchill, here in Strasbourg, proposed the creation of a common European army. It is high time that we realised his vision. I believe that we urgently need a common European foreign and security policy and, of course, also the goal of a common European army and common European defence system. On our way to achieving this, we will be able to save enormous amounts of money. It is particularly important to highlight this during the financial crisis, because if, like the Americans, we Europeans were to acquire and purchase what we need jointly rather than separately, we would be able to save a fifth of our costs in the defence sector. We could increase our efficiency and, at the same time, free up large sums of money for other areas, for social policy for example. It is therefore high time that we very quickly followed the path towards a common European defence policy."@en1
