Mr. Ivailo Kalfin:

From my position, being in this very high place, it is difficult to criticise the institutions. As I said, we are not decision makers. The challenge is to have a balanced approach, which brings me to your previous question. For good reason, preparedness, competitiveness and defence are very high on the agenda. The challenge from our point of view is it should not be done at the expense of the European way of living and working and taking care of improving further this environment. I think nobody says we are going to compromise this, but again when you make some priorities it is always good to balance that. The expectations from Europe I see are much higher than what Europe could deliver sometimes. I mean, Europe was never a defence body and now defence is somewhere on the top, probably for good reason. These are new areas that will probably take time. Balance is needed in order to follow them. We are very much attentive to our area and living and working in Europe should remain a priority because it is, at the end of the day, about the European citizens.
