"I voted against the Brok report on the common foreign and security policy (CFSP). We want to turn the European Union into, at one and the same time, a humanitarian organisation, a docile supporter of NATO and a body which negotiates free-trade agreements with the whole world. The CFSP is Baroness Ashton living in La La Land: any problem can be solved providing that we give a lot of money, that we open our borders to everyone and everything and that we give lessons in dubious morality to the rest of the world and, in particular, that our American Big Brother effectively continues to guarantee our security in the face of real threats. The problem is that the Union has never thought of itself, Treaty of Lisbon or otherwise, as a major world power. It is constantly pursuing an international political role that it can never attain, because it will not rest until it has destroyed the diplomatic and military capabilities of its members. This is done in the name of a cosy ideology, unadulterated commercialism and a Malthusian budgetary rationale. Europe is neither synergy nor synthesis. It is simply the sum of its weaknesses. It deadens and dissolves all it touches. Each Member State must recover its full sovereignty for its own security and its links with other States."@en1
