"I voted for the resolution on ‘EU mutual defence and solidarity clauses: political and operational dimensions’ given that the security of the EU and of the Member States is indivisible and all European citizens must enjoy the same levels of security and protection against conventional and non-conventional threats. Protecting peace, security, democracy, human rights, the rule of law and freedom in Europe is crucial for the welfare of our nations and must remain a primary objective and responsibility of the Union and its Member States. I believe that European Members States must have reliable military capabilities and I encourage them to intensify their collaboration to develop such capabilities, for example, through the complementary EU and NATO ‘pooling and sharing’ and ‘Smart Defence’ initiatives, which offer a vital solution at a time of defence budget cuts. If a Member State is targeted by a terrorist attack or suffers a man-made or natural disaster, the Union and the Member States must act together, in the spirit of solidarity, and provide assistance at the request of that Member State’s authorities."@en1
