"The common security and defence policy is an important asset serving the development of freedom and democracy, both so important to the European Union. I think that its role and its Community character take on particular importance at this time of crisis, when various cuts are being made to budgets in order to make savings. We must, however, bear in mind that it is the military sector that we are talking about, and it is the defence industry that generates modern scientific research and innovations which are then absorbed by areas of the civilian economy and which significantly affect their development.
I wish to focus more specifically on two issues. Firstly, I believe that the European External Action Service should include more specialists in fields which represent important Union and global issues, for example, energy security, climate issues and environmental protection, economic, development and financial issues, and many others. This would greatly enhance the quality of its work. Secondly, the European Union should develop its own services and strengthen the coordination of national services providing assistance in the event of various disasters. This should be an important pillar of our activities, complementing those of NATO. I would like to offer my congratulations on a very interesting report."@en1
