lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, this report and the whole process of the European Security Strategy ultimately seeks to create a single and cohesive foreign policy for all 28 very different Member States within the European Union. This fundamental rebalancing of Member States’ sovereignty is completely unacceptable. Whilst cooperation is welcome, this continent has NATO, the OSCE and the UN to facilitate better understanding between European nations. Ideally, these organisations are not distracted by the political and economic baggage that comes from European Union membership. The United Kingdom remains a global power with international interests and obligations and can never fit comfortably into such a straitjacket. Indeed, President de Gaulle himself said as much when vetoing Britain’s first two applications to join the then European Economic Community. The best way to secure British security, and indeed the security of the 27 other Member States, is through institutions away from the European Union, where genuine multilateral cooperation can place, rather than the current subservience to EU institutions who have their own – and very different – logic and designs."@en1
