"The European Union’s enlargement towards the east has brought peace to a large part of Europe that was previously engaged, if not in explicit conflict, then at least in latent conflict. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics stripped military organisations such as NATO of their role. In reality, Europe has never been as prosperous, safe or free as it is now. This report, by Arnaud Danjean, on the implementation of the Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP), based on the Annual Report from the Council to the European Parliament on the Common Foreign and Security Policy, draws attention to the need to improve our action, bearing in mind the economic crisis facing the Member States and NATO’s attention being focused on another part of the globe (Africa and Asia) rather than Europe. I welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted and which contains a very positive approach to the CSDP, particularly in times of budgetary austerity, as I agree that the EU cannot leave its defence solely to NATO. The EU must therefore increase cooperation between the Member States and create synergies between the CSDP and other policies."@en1
