lpv:translated text	"Mr President, we attach great importance to having an effective democratic oversight of the EU foreign, security and defence policy, and fully recognise that this is a shared responsibility of the European Parliament and the national parliaments. This responsibility implies a certain duty of cooperation by the parliaments and parliamentarians in achieving the objectives of the CFSP/CSDP – including protecting the interests and security of European citizens – in the most effective way. Parliamentarians are also uniquely placed to communicate the merits of the CFSP/CSDP to citizens and civil society, and thus participate in the project of building, promoting and giving visibility to the EU foreign, security and defence policy. This important responsibility of parliaments is explicitly recognised in the report on the Implementation of the European Security strategy, which was endorsed by Heads of State or Government in 2008. It says that ‘Maintaining public support for our global engagement is fundamental. ... We deploy police, judicial experts and soldiers in unstable zones around the world. There is an onus on governments, parliaments and EU institutions to communicate how this contributes to security at home’. We are aware of the current discussions between national parliaments and the European Parliament about the setting up of a new interparliamentary conference for CFSP/CSDP, in accordance with Protocol 1 of the Lisbon Treaty. Everyone recognises that the closing down of the WEU Parliamentary Assembly on 10 May 2011 has made the setting up of such a body even more urgent. We are confident that a mutually convenient agreement will soon be found, hopefully under the chairmanship of the Polish Parliament during the second half of this year. I thank you once again for this debate. It is an opportunity for us to reaffirm our attachment to the parliamentary oversight of the EU foreign, security and defence policy."@en1
