"I voted in favour of the Gualtieri report. However, I underline once again the need for enhanced cooperation between the EU and NATO. My original amendment to paragraph 87 aimed to confirm, rather than merely recognise, NATO’s role as the bedrock for collective defence – a role which is not just ‘still continuing’ but should be seen as the only option for the foreseeable future. In addition, NATO’s role cannot be deemed to concern only its Member States, as the Gualtieri report states: it creates security for the EU’s non-NATO members too.
NATO has been, and is going to be, the foundation of collective defence, so that has to be stated in strong, affirmative language. This morning, the Vice-President of the Commission/High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Baroness Ashton, declared that the EU and NATO are, for the first time, sharing information and data on Libya. This is an encouraging example for further similar cooperation. It sends a clear signal that, if there is a will, the way to meaningful cooperation will be always open."@en1
