lpv:translated text	"− We believe that the European Commission’s strategy for a more competitive defence industry within the EU is on completely the wrong track. It is yet another step towards military cooperation within the EU, the aim being to establish common defence. We are fundamentally opposed to any such development. We would safeguard an independent foreign policy that is free of military alliances. The safeguarding of international law, democracy and human rights is not mentioned at all in the Commission’s proposal. We believe that peace, democracy and human rights are more important than the creation of a new market for military equipment. This is also an area that affects security policy. According to the EU Treaty, Sweden has the decision-making authority. On this point, we believe that the European Commission’s legislative proposal contravenes the EU Treaty. For the reasons given above, we are voting against the proposal."@en1
