"Mr President, I voted against this report, just as I voted against the reports by Mr Kelam and Mr Tarand, for the same reasons, which have been stated in relation to the Danjean report. I wish to elaborate, if I may. There is an extraordinary lack of clarity on two key points in the report. Firstly, what does the obligation of aid and assistance by ‘all the means in their power’ actually mean? This goes much further than the collective defence commitment within the framework of NATO. Secondly, there is a lack of precision in the definitions. What is a ‘man-made disaster’? Every war is a man-made disaster. Does a war then trigger a mutual assistance obligation for Member States? I say it again: for someone who comes from a neutral country, this is unacceptable. The lack of clarity in this report made it impossible for me to support it, even though I would otherwise be in favour of its fundamental objectives, namely to provide mutual aid and assistance in the event of disasters."@en1
