lpv:translated text	"Madam President, according to General Morillon’s report, there is a desire for the European Union to militarise and furthermore let the advocates of peace pay for it. The fact that the report has been drafted in parallel with the EU Constitution has made it possible to call for measures that it is known will be implemented anyway. A special Article on the issue of solidarity is being written into the Constitution, according to which the Member States undertake, among other things, to combat the threat of terrorism. As a result, the EU will embrace the principle of pre-emptive war. The forward line of troops will be given the opportunity to engage in still higher levels of cooperation: when the EU’s crisis management is extended to include the work of combat forces this may be done illegally without a mandate from the United Nations and irrespective of geographical borders. The most militaristic countries will be able to give one another guarantees of security in the form of a declaration or protocol in the spirit of Article 5 of the WEU. It is a good thing that the Council has the power in military matters, and that there has to be unanimity. It is better that way than if it were up to the Commission whether to launch an attack or not. I would like to remind everyone that there are countries in the EU that do not want to be part of any military alliance."@en1
