"I reject this report because the mutual defence clause (Article 42(7) of the Treaty on European Union) turns the EU into a military alliance, and the solidarity clause (Article 222 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union) paves the way for military interventions within the EU. The explicit ‘obligation’ to react ‘by all means’ in case of armed aggression against a Member State goes beyond NATO’s mutual assistance clause since non-armed attacks are also covered. Within the solidarity clause, military support is also demanded in case of terror attacks, natural or man-made disasters, which implies military operations within the EU. Cyber attacks, pandemics and energy shortages can also lead to activation of the solidarity clause. I voted against the report since there is no clear definition of what falls under the solidarity clause and whether social unrest/strikes are also considered ‘man-made disasters’. Furthermore, the report prefers military to civil measures outside and inside the EU, and focuses only on EU defence and military solutions."@en1
