". This resolution is driven by the ambition of creating a so-called ‘well-balanced partnership’ between the EU and the USA, ‘based on equality’ and dedicated to the ‘pursuit of common global interests’: in other words, to ruling the world and dividing it up between these two bastions of capitalism. In an attempt to overcome ‘differences’, it advocates the deepening of relations between the EU and the USA, mentioning the EU’s need to develop as a political and military bloc. It therefore advocates the creation of a genuine Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP), the extension of qualified majority voting (especially to external trade and to foreign and security policy), the establishment of a European common diplomatic service, enhanced cooperation in defence policy and ‘stronger and more efficient’ use of military capabilities within the framework of NATO, and in particular within the conclusions of the recent NATO Prague Summit. Furthermore, it proposes the creation of a ‘transatlantic market’ to help speed up decisions by the World Trade Organisation (WTO). It is significant that the resolution also makes an uncritical reference to the recent declarations of a group of ex-US Government officials who used an open letter to establish a framework for relations between the USA and the EU (involving the mastery of the former and the subservience of the latter, of course) and who are pushing ahead with unacceptable proposals which clearly interfere in business procedures between the countries of the EU. For these reasons, I voted against the resolution."@en1
