"Mr President, the excellent report by my colleague, Mr Lisek, makes one question absolutely clear: that reducing the defence sector in the course of the financial crisis poses a risk to the credibility of Europe as a stabilising force in the world. It is not even the question of reductions in defence expenditure. Even more alarming is the way the money is being used. National defence planning continues to be very uncoordinated, which results in capacity gaps, over-capacities and duplications. Defence research and technology has a totally insufficient share of our spending.
But the message of this report is that the financial crisis also provides opportunities. It is time to end the tradition of isolation in national defence planning and I absolutely agree with the High Representative, who said that multinational cooperation pooling and sharing should become a rule rather than the exception in our activities.
But I would also like to talk about cyber defence. This is an area which is in need of a decisive breakthrough in established nation-centred models of thinking. More efficient cooperation and qualitatively better coordination are the key requirements, and these are not just good wishes, because the ominous potential of cyber threats is still developing ahead of our preventive and defensive measures. Our task is to build more joint cyber-defence exercises and burden sharing on cyber incident analysis and, of course, we need also in Europe a cyber defence coordinator."@en1
