lpv:spoken text	"Thanks to the President-in-Office for that answer, and indeed for the support of his own government in respect of this point. It was interesting to see that the recent meeting of four Member States on defence, convened by Mr Verhofstadt, supported the idea of an agency, just as the original proposal that came forward at Le Touquet was supported by my own Prime Minister, Tony Blair and also by Jacques Chirac. Whatever differences exist as regards perspectives about defence cooperation in the European Union, it seems this is something that could unite us. I wonder if the President-in-Office foresees any further progress on this issue during the remainder of his presidency, and whether he could try and put a timescale on how much progress we can make in bringing forward this idea?"@en1
