". We support the United Nations’ initiatives aiming to combat the illegal trade in weapons, including light weapons, which feed the traffic in arms and the profits of the major armaments industries. Significantly, however, I must highlight the fact – and the contradiction – that this debate took place in conjunction with the debate on a ‘Security Strategy for the European Union’, attended by Javier Solana, the High Representative for the CFSP, who had prepared a report for the Thessaloniki Council. Why? Because in his speech Mr Solana upheld a concept of security based on militarism and interventionism, arguing for the development of a strategy assuring an early, rapid and ‘robust’ intervention, when necessary, and the existence of more military resources in combination with diplomatic and civil instruments. This proposed ‘Security Strategy for the European Union’ seems to adapt the objectives of the CFSP and CESDP to the conclusions of the Washington and Prague NATO Summits in that it places the emphasis on the possibility of using military aggression. In other words, it is a consolidation of policies and instruments that are the negation of disarmament and in international relations and seek to guarantee worldwide military domination, through a hoped-for ‘partnership’ of the European Union with the United States."@en1
