"Madam President, I would like firstly to thank my colleague, Geoffrey van Orden, who has important defence meetings today, for his tireless work opposing an EU single army. Regrettably, the reports on integrating defence policy and defence industries seek again to invent EU defence roles that are not wanted and not desirable. Yesterday’s Council agreed ambitious operations in the Mediterranean. Of course, it is right to make every effort to save lives, but the question is what are the consequences of such well-intentioned but flawed measures. Certainly they will not end mass migration. For that you may need an Australian approach: they turn boats around after giving them food, water and ensuring they will not sink. They went from 800 boats and 50 000 migrants a year to zero now. But in the light of what was agreed there are two major questions: firstly, why was the major NATO Joint Force headquarters at Naples – already very well equipped for operations in the Mediterranean – not involved? Why must the EU always duplicate and undermine NATO? Secondly, what is the cost of this duplication and who will pay?"@en1
