The ‘replacement’ of NATO forces with a military force under the ESDP is being presented as the first military operation to have been undertaken under this EU policy, a policy to which we are opposed. This is a military operation that has been executed following the EU/NATO declaration on the ESDP of 16 December 2002, which welcomes ‘the strategic partnership established between the European Union and NATO in crisis management, founded on our shared values, the indivisibility of our security and our determination to tackle the challenges of the new Century’.
This is a military force, albeit a ‘symbolic’ one, which can call on the resources and capabilities of NATO and is headed by the Deputy Supreme Commander of this organisation in Europe – a military operation under the ESDP as the European pillar of NATO.
This is an attempt to pursue an illegal and illegitimate NATO operation which is consistent with the interference and imperialist aggression inflicted on the Balkans. It is therefore an initial military operation that will open the way to others, with the ‘replacement’ of NATO forces in Bosnia-Herzegovina being suggested as the next.
Hence our vote against the report."@en1
