lpv:translated text	"Mr President, this House feels very strongly that significant progress was made last year regarding the European Security and Defence Policy, and that it was therefore possible to break the impasse following the Iraq conflict. We welcome the establishment of the European Defence Agency and believe it will play an important role with regard to the supply of new equipment. We also welcome the inclusion in the Constitutional Treaty of provisions creating a future for the ESDP, in particular on the subject of structural cooperation, that is, the solidarity clause. Another very significant development was the Commission’s announcement of the European Programme for Security Research that will be operating with a budget of at least EUR 1 billion as of 2007. Finally, probably the most important event of last year was taking the stabilisation mission in Bosnia over from NATO. This is actually the European Union’s first major military operation. In this context, we also feel very strongly that the four questions raised over six years ago, when the notion of a European Security and Defence Policy was first floated in Cologne, remain relevant. Firstly, what action is required to ensure that our defence capabilities are in line with our aspirations and challenges, the challenges that have now been enshrined in the European Security Policy? Secondly, how can the cohesion of the European Security and Defence Policy be assured? Thirdly, how can the ESDP be developed without detriment to the defence commitments of the majority of Member States that are also members of NATO? Fourthly, how can financial resources be managed wisely at both national and Community level? These questions are addressed primarily to the Commission and the Council, because Parliament, the Commission and the Council will have to work together to come up with the answers. If we fail to do so, the ESDP will be simply a paper policy, and we shall be powerless."@en1
