"In his opening remarks, Mr Solana alluded to certain events that took place last month and to certain challenges facing Europe, including the dispute over gas supplies from Russia, the elections in Palestine and the situation in the Middle East, the gloomy situation in Iraq, the crisis concerning Iran’s nuclear programme and the unresolved status of Kosovo. All of these events and problems have one common thread: no European country, not even the very biggest, can handle such problems alone. In other words, if we are to solve these problems we need to combine our strengths and to develop our common policies on foreign affairs, security and defence. This is what politicians from many countries want, and, as previous speakers have said, what the people of Europe want, too.
Mr Brok’s report, on which we shall be voting tomorrow, refers to progress in the area of common foreign and defence policy, but also mentions a number of problems such as Parliament’s inadequate involvement in the process of drawing up foreign policy. I should therefore like to call on the Council to abide by Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union and always to consult Parliament at the start of the year on its progress and plans, rather than simply presenting summaries from the previous year."@en1
