"This report is an assessment of the EUʼs ‘military capabilitiesʼ in the context of the common security and defence policy (CSDP), with a series of recommendations about future developments. The CSDP is a device to take forward political integration, disguised for the unwary as something apparently useful and uncontentious. I submitted 18 amendments at Committee level, none of which were accepted. Rather than recognising that NATO remains the primary military alliance, the report proposes a series of measures aimed at establishing new EU military structures. It advocates increased defence integration at EU level to bolster the EU position as a global actor and ‘security providerʼ through increased common funding. The report specifically crosses an important British Government red line concerning institutional duplication and growth – notably, the establishment of a permanent EU Operational Headquarters, which the report proposes should be set up ‘if necessary through permanent structured cooperationʼ. It also wants to establish a permanent CSDP ‘warehouse’, duplicating the NATO Support Agency, to provide support and equipment for EU missions. In fact, everything military that it describes or proposes is already being done by NATO. The ECR Group therefore voted against this report."@en1
