"I voted in favour of this resolution because a common defence industrial policy makes sense economically in terms of reinforcing the role of the European Union worldwide and maintaining Europe’s technological capacity while still taking account of the particular characteristics of each Member State. Attention should be drawn to the fact that a reinforced European defence capability will contribute to collective security in the context of various partnerships, including NATO. I believe that the Member States should implement permanent structured cooperation and define the conditions for the application of solidarity and mutual defence clauses, while improving the transparency and openness of their defence markets. I welcome the proposal that the EU should jointly acquire the most expensive and up-to-date equipment and establish a civil-military EU Operational Headquarters which will not only support international peace and security but will also generate savings for national budgets. It should be noted that research and innovation play a particularly important role in the security and defence sector. Consequently, it is very important to do our utmost to increase synergies between European defence and civilian security research programmes and to enhance the development and independence of these programmes. I believe that the European defence industry and technological base will contribute to the creation of new jobs in this industrial sector."@en1
