"As we have been warning, with the entry into force of the Treaty of Lisbon, the militarisation of the European Union will be accelerated even more. This report consolidates this approach. As pointed out by the amendments tabled by our group, military intervention or any sort of military approach to conflict resolution, with the alleged aim of stabilising certain regions or countries, is the wrong track. Instead of resolving problems, this worsens them, as we can see in the cases of Libya, Afghanistan and Iraq. The militarisation of the EU is not in the interest of any of its peoples. The transformation, already under way, of the EU into a European pillar of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) is part of a process of dividing up the international sphere into spheres of influence, under the leadership of the United States. This serves to ensure greater exploitation of labour forces and control over ever scarcer natural resources, particularly hydrocarbons, as well as control of the markets. The development of the common security and defence policy is a threat to peace. It is an element which deepens political intervention, contributes to the arms race, including nuclear weapons, and promotes vast profits for the EU’s industrial-military complex."@en1
