Jeg vil over for de ærede medlemmer, der har udtalt deres bekymring om drøftelsernes resultat, påpege, at der allerede under Maastrichtmødet er nået til enighed om, at man skal nå frem til en fælles forsvarspolitik, hvis nøjagtige form og indhold der skal træffes nærmere bestemmelse om.
In response to the honourable Members who expressed concern that this was going too far I would say that it was already agreed at the time of Maastricht that a common defence policy would be devised, the exact form and content to be determined later.
