"Ladies and gentlemen, new security threats have emerged since the end of the Cold War. These include international terrorism, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, organised crime and a whole range of regional conflicts. It is becoming apparent that no country, no matter how large, is in a position to deal with these security threats on its own, and it is for this reason that the EU’s common foreign, security and defence policy should be extended and strengthened. This is a belief held not only by the majority of Members of this House, and not only by Council or Commission representatives, but also, and above all, by the European public. This is a point that has already been made in this House.
Something else that is becoming apparent is that we cannot overcome any of these threats by military means alone; instead, we need to make use of a combination of both military and civilian means. Both the reports tabled today and both the rapporteurs provide clear and detailed answers to the question of how this could be achieved. The success and future development of the common foreign, security and defence policy depend on two conditions being met; the European Constitution must be ratified, and appropriate funding must be set aside. You cannot have more European security for less money."@en1
