lpv:spoken text	"We commend the rapporteur for what is essentially a sound report, relating to ballistic missile defence. However, as with so many reports from Parliament, it now regrettably includes a reference to EU initiatives and the involvement of the External Action Service and the European Defence Agency, none of which are in any way relevant to the matter in hand. It also refers to ‘EU military capabilities’ and to ‘the European defence industry’. Both concepts are imaginary – the EU has no military capabilities and there is no such thing as a European defence industry. We feel sure also that NATO cooperation with Russia will be reassessed in the light of the present crisis in the Ukraine. The report nevertheless provides a useful assessment of the threats posed by nuclear proliferation and considers what role NATO and European Allies can play in order to respond effectively in relation to the ballistic missile shield. On balance, but with the above reservations, the ECR voted in favour of this report."@en1
