lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, this week we had the Commission President, Mr Juncker, blatantly calling for a common European army to, and I quote: ʽallow Europe to take on responsibility in the world and to send a clear message to Russiaʼ. I have no doubt that if we had an EU army now it would be losing thousands of troops in Ukraine in a futile exercise to prove that the EU is a powerful empire. It is always a bad military tactic to divide your army, but this report would divide NATO and the EU. The Brok report calls for coordination of defence budgets, an EU arms trade authority, common EU defence attachés and a permanent EU headquarters – the very headquarters proposal that was voted down in the Council just over a year ago. Nor is it, I fear, a coincidence that all our national armed forces are being slashed. The true purpose is to destroy our national ability to act independently so we have no alternative but to pool and share our armed forces. These European defence moves are profoundly dangerous and must be stopped in their tracks."@en1
