"I should like to make a small general comment on the European Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy. In recent times, certain events, especially the course of the Arab Spring, have led me to ask whether we should not become more deeply concerned with the relationship between the EU’s Common Foreign and Security Policy and NATO. I believe that the time has come for us to say what rules apply for Member States of the Union. Whether statesmen can, during the day, speak on behalf of the Union about peace, the observance of human rights and the binding nature of international law and, during the night, can the same statesmen decide on behalf of NATO to bomb a state, supply weapons to selected insurgents and break off hitherto unquestioned diplomatic relations. I am deeply convinced that we should start a debate on the boundary of Member States’ licence. Is it possible that some state has recognised Kosovo or an insurgent group in Syria without consulting the other states here and that the European Parliament has remained silent because it is also discussing the violation of human rights in Myanmar? For how long, for example, can Paris breach our agreements on a common policy in the Mediterranean and Africa without any consultation with their Union partners?"@en1
