"Abstention. In general we supported the idea of a report addressing the issue of these two clauses. The problem with the rapporteur and also the EPP group was that they have no clear objectives and strategies. As a result, the report is extremely vague and ambiguous. For Greens there were two issues which were particularly problematic: 1) In our view there is a misunderstanding regarding the existing structures and capabilities of CSDP. The rapporteur, supported by EPP and ALDE argued that CSDP can be one instrument for the implementing both clauses. and (2) More problematic is the link to NATO and the vagueness regarding European military capabilities. The report does not clarify how NATO Art. 5 and the Mutual Assistance/Defence clause should be linked or not linked politically and militarily. In our view we cannot (mis-)use the EU Assistance clause for (indirectly) integrating countries like Ireland, Austria, Sweden, etc. into NATO and its nuclear weapons arrangements. In addition, the vagueness regarding European military capabilities is unacceptable because it does not include or exclude integrating French and British nuclear weapons into the implementation toolbox for both clauses."@en1
