lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the Union’s common foreign and security policy may not be a virtual policy, as sceptics maintain, but it certainly looks far better on paper than it does in practice. If, like the authors of the draft resolution, we look to public opinion surveys for the will to implement this policy, its future seems distinctly uncertain. If the 60% of Union citizens that support the common foreign policy is in future reduced to 45%, and the 70% support for the common defence policy is reduced to say 47%, should we suddenly abandon this notion? We should guard against relying on public opinion surveys. The House is divided on the issue of the degree of support for the idea of a common security policy and a common foreign policy. We need to face up to that fact. Nonetheless, we are all of one mind on a number of issues. The first is that Islamic terrorism is a real threat. The second is that military action cannot be the first course of action when it comes to dealing with certain problems. The third is that we must follow the joint EUFOR activities in Bosnia-Herzegovina carefully. True, the Union did previously undertake the Concordia mission in Macedonia, but that was relatively minor, as were the police activities we were involved in, for example in Bosnia-Herzegovina or, more recently, in Africa Finally, we can speak with one voice when it comes to insisting that the Council complies with Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union concerning consultation on the main foreign policy actions for the coming year. It is not a question of the Council deigning to provide the information. It is actually bound to do so."@en1
