lpv:translated text	"Mr President, implementing the EU’s common foreign and security policy will mean having to go from words to deeds. The Intergovernmental Conference now going on will have to create structures that will make effective decision-making and action possible. Secretary-General of the Council of the European Union, Javier Solana, deserves our support while he frames a strategy on which the Union’s foreign and security policy will be based. In a key role here will be the creation of a cordon of properly governed neighbouring countries on the Union’s external borders. The Commission proposal on the new neighbourhood policy is currently being debated by Parliament. It is a positive sign that future new Member States are actively working on the ‘Wider Europe’ initiative. We will need their skills, know-how and views in the development of relations with Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova. The proposals for a common foreign and security policy being discussed by the IGC are a logical extension of the decisions reached at the Helsinki Summit on improving the EU’s crisis management capabilities. It has to be said, however, that we are still a long way from a situation where the EU could offer its Member States guarantees of military security. There is no need to take a negative view of the fact that some Member States are making faster progress in the area of defence cooperation than others. At the same time we have to insist that strengthened cooperation should be open to everyone. We are in favour of the creation of an international system based on multilateralism, as mentioned in Mr Brok’s report. Strengthening the role of the UN will be of key importance here. I am pleased that my own Group of the Party of European Socialists has now taken a very special approach to how to improve the way the UN performs. Multilateralism also involves maintaining transatlantic relations. In the wake of the disagreements over the Iraq war we now must look ahead."@en1
