lpv:spoken text	"I voted in favour of the report, which reflects the changing geopolitical context in which the EU operates: Brexit, Trump’s election as the US president, growing challenges along the EU’s eastern and southern borders prompted by an aggressive Russia and more. The report addresses these challenges by emphasising the need for a reinvigorated EU coordination process, including decisive steps towards strengthening cooperation on defence. The report also stresses the need for the EU to play a more active role in conflict resolution by using the leverage the EU has over all key regional players, such as Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Iran. However, the EU must remain above all a project of peace. In our common security and defence policy we must emphasise the need to refrain from selling arms to regimes which violate human rights and commit war crimes. The EU must always stand for human rights, democracy and the rule of law, and nothing in our CSDP should ever compromise those commitments. Also, Labour MEPs abstained or voted against recommendations on the Defence Union that offer ideas which could duplicate the work of NATO."@en1
