"Madam President, ‘Argos did inspire him in his search for the Other’, to quote Péguy on Homer. I would refer the detractors of the Morillon report to this. The Morillon report is not a pipedream. It is without doubt the most interesting and best-devised document on the subject I have been given to read for several years. I would like to explain why I am so pleased with this report. I see merit both in its ambitious objectives and in its realistic pathway. Others have explained that the timing of this report is opportune. Previous speakers have also highlighted its comprehensive nature. I would like to point to its sense of perspective and its excellent account of the institutional tools that need to be taken into account. I would also like to underline the very creative way in which it uses the notion of enhanced cooperation. It applies this to defence in a realistic and pragmatic way with the aim of establishing a genuine Community defence structure. In some ways, this report is a step-by-step guide to building a European defence architecture capable of adjusting to meet present and future challenges, especially terrorism. Madam President, too often we say that Generals prepare for yesterday’s wars. I do not want the future to herald more wars but we know that there will be many more conflicts. One particular General has urged us to prepare for current and future conflicts. He deserves our thanks."@en1
