lpv:spoken text	"I voted against this report on the impact of developments in European defence markets on security and defence capabilities in Europe. The report advocates a need to develop a European market for defence equipment and services. While at times it attempts to justify this by referring to Member State and EU security, it is clear its concern is for the European military industry itself. The report states that, ‘the EU 28 Member States are still the world’s number two when it comes to both defence spending and arms exports; believes that this fact shows that the EU Member States and the Union still play a key role in global arms sales and defence procurement.’ The report also calls for EU funding opportunities for defence—related projects, which I oppose. We have seen the terrible effects of the military industrial complex elsewhere, and its role in perpetuating conflict. I am opposed to the militarisation of the EU and the use of Irish or EU taxpayers’ money for the EU military industry. For these reasons I voted against."@en1
