I denne forbindelse vil jeg gerne sige til vores tyrkiske kolleger på tribunen, at de ikke skal frygte, at det europæiske forsvar vil udvikle sig sammen med, parallelt med og som en overflødig gentagelse af det, der sker i Alliancen.
To this end, I would like to say to our Turkish colleagues who are in the gallery, how in vain it would be, to fear that European defence might develop in competition, in parallel, and therefore redundantly, with defence based on the Atlantic Alliance.
