lpv:translated text	". The basic purpose of this report is to ensure that the ΕU does not play second fiddle to the USA when it comes to planning and carrying out aggressive warfare, dividing up markets and implementing a strategy to subdue the popular movements opposed to the "new world order". As far as the ΕU is concerned, ΝΑΤΟ is a "fundamental guarantee for the Euro-Atlantic stability and security [and] the essential framework for coalition operations" and the EU aims to be a "coherent, reliable and equal partner to the US" in the context of NATO. The report therefore recommends that the Member States increase their military spending. Imperialist intervention in Afghanistan, the threat of global war, the US withdrawal from the ΑΒΜ Treaty, preparations for star wars, the prospect of the nightmare of nuclear war and the abolition of basic democratic rights are either completely ignored by the rapporteur or are broached with regret, because the US has acted without consulting the ΕU, ΝΑΤΟ or the UN. Competition between the imperialist powers finds expression in the report's call for the US to honour its commitments to the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank. That Plenary voted in favour of the report is proof positive of the fact that Parliament has ambitions for a more autocratic, militaristic and aggressive ΕU. That comes as no surprise to us Communists. The fact that the people of the ΕU and throughout the world have realised this and are fighting against is an encouraging sign. It is for these reasons that the MEPs of the Communist Party of Greece voted against the report."@en1
