"Despite the large number of States that make up the European Union, the common defence system still has various weaknesses. There is a variety of reasons for this: to the most basic reference to the budgetary weaknesses experienced by various States can be added the lack of integration between the defence policies of the different Member States. In truth, coordinating policy between the various Member States would allow resources to be used more optimally and allow a true European defence force to be created, based on the complementarity of the armed forces of the different States. The rapporteur highlights six priority areas: better coordination of defence planning, pooling and sharing of capabilities, support for research and technological development, construction of a European Defence Technological and Industrial Base, creation of a European market in defence equipment and, finally, seeking new forms of funding. I voted in favour as I believe defence policy is one of the greatest challenges faced by the European Union; without it, our very political sovereignty would appear to be (effectively) threatened."@en1
