Det direktiv, vi drøfter i dag, og her vil jeg gerne takke hr. Lambsdorff, vil betyde, at de store summer, vi i dag bruger på forsvaret, vil blive brugt betydelig mere fornuftigt, og at EU's militære kapacitet vil stå mål med udgifterne til forsvaret.
I think that the sort of directive we are discussing today, and for which I would like to express my thanks and my gratitude to Mr Lambsdorff, will lead to the large sums that we spend on defence being used in a significantly more sensible and reasonable manner, and that the military capability of the European Union will reflect our level of spending on defence.
