"The report starts off by manipulating justified fears about crises caused by more or less extreme climate phenomena and natural disasters in order to claim that these are ‘the biggest threat to global security’. In this way it seeks to justify the further militarisation of the EU, the development of military capabilities by the European Defence Agency, and enhanced coordination between NATO and the EU on ‘pooling and sharing’ and ‘smart defence’ projects, while respecting the ‘specific responsibilities’ of both organisations. These priorities confirm what we have been saying: that the process of militarising the EU is making the EU into the European pillar of NATO. The real objective is to respond to the intensifying global fight for access to and control over regions which are the source of the vital energy resources and raw materials on which the EU monopolies depend. The rise in, or the threat of, conflicts in third countries due to climate phenomena can only be effectively tackled if their causes are duly identified and resolved. Such a solution can only be found if we put a stop to this neo-colonialism, to the destruction of national sovereignty, and to economic control by capitalist monopolies, or, in other words, if we break with a dominant productive system based on the plundering of nature and the exploitation of people."@en1
