"Mr Seppänen, your question indicates that you are clearly confused, unless there has been an interpreting error. We are not talking about defence policy but about crisis management for which powers are now included within the Treaties. The issue in question is not therefore a European defence policy or the creation of a European army. The issue is crisis management and humanitarian actions which are commonly referred to in Community parlance as the ‘Petersberg tasks’. All the EU countries, including yours, can make a valuable contribution to this area. We are trying at the moment not to create a European defence policy but rather a common culture of security allowing us to participate in crisis management. In this respect, I can see no major problems. We hope to ensure that all the various cultures which exist within the Union are compatible."@en1
