"I hope Mr Brok will accept my congratulations on the courage and rigour with which he has addressed certain problems that have been dragging on unresolved for some time and which could weaken not only the common foreign and security policy but also the Union’s political position and credibility in general.
In view of the financial crisis, now may actually be the right time to solve these problems, as I think the rapporteur has intended to do by starting from certain fixed, methodological points to outline a comprehensive, coherent and consistent Union approach to foreign policy, based on a realistic assessment of scenarios, options, resources and results.
Parliament today has a central role in defining the EU’s foreign policy and the parameters for its evaluation, since it is the repository of political legitimacy invested in it by Europe’s citizens, to whom it is accountable.
Recent developments in the crisis have quickened people’s full awareness of their shared destiny in governing the currency, the economy and the very institutions. Foreign policy cannot be anything other than a key part of this feeling of being Europe. That is why I voted in favour of the report."@en1
