"There is a lot to say about this report and there are many reasons why we voted against it. Using the Treaty of Lisbon as a point of departure, the report proposes strengthening the EU’s strategic partnership with NATO, confirming the EU as the European pillar of this organisation and advocating the ‘pooling and sharing’ of military resources, primarily through the European Defence Agency. While removing hard-won rights from workers and ordinary people, it takes further steps towards the militarisation of the EU, which will be ‘funded adequately’ in line with its ambitions. After defending the military attack on Libya, the majority of Parliament now wishes to go beyond the ongoing financial and military support of terrorist groups in Syria and take military action in the country. They insist on the old EU ambition of securing a permanent seat in a reformed UN Security Council; not to defend peace but to operationalise ‘the responsibility to protect principle’, that is, the implementation of so-called ‘preventive wars’."@en1
