"I voted against this report, as it serves to further the European Union’s strategy of militarisation. The report is based on an analysis of the implications of the mutual defence and solidarity clauses. By the text’s reasoning, the situation could arise in which an attack on Cyprus by Turkey would result in a conflict between the mutual defence obligation that exists among the EU Member States and that in force among the members of NATO. This analysis of both clauses covers non-armed attacks, such as cyber attacks, and does not rule out intervention in the event of internal disturbances that threaten a government. The report seeks to extend NATO’s military competences, as well as those of the EU Member States. The increase in military competences can only lead to greater risks for Europe’s civilian population. Only by means of demilitarisation can we guarantee more security for the people of Europe. I consider this report to mark a real push ahead with the EU’s strategy of militarisation and therefore voted against it."@en1
