European Parliament
Goudin, Lundgren and Wohlin (IND/DEM ),
in writing.
(SV)
Peacemaking and confidence-building measures in Bosnia and Herzegovina are extremely desirable. We nonetheless object to some of what is written in the motion for a resolution from the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
We do
not
wish, as the committee proposes, to regret this military operation’s being financed from outside the EU’s normal Budget (paragraph 2).
Nor do we support the wording to the effect that ‘this operation should establish further the collective capacity for planning and management of European military operations at EU level’
(paragraph 11).
The above wordings, together with the general spirit of the motion for a resolution for an increased military capacity for the EU, are the reasons why we are voting against this resolution.
