"I voted in favour of this report on the Common Security and Defence Policy, as it makes a pertinent assessment of the Union’s record on the matter and of the challenges that we must prepare to tackle together. It is important not to allow Europe to enter a strategic decline. The European Union has the tools to pursue a truly ambitious policy in security and defence. As the report indicates, the European Union must preserve its military intervention capability, but also its capacity to intervene by civilian, economic, humanitarian and commercial means to deal with the new situations that are arising in the world, sometimes at the fringes of Europe. I believe that Parliament is making a clear appeal for Member States to make a stronger commitment to the Common Security and Defence Policy, which is the only way of maintaining the strategic weight of a Europe that has fallen prey to budgetary difficulties in a multipolar world."@en1
