Mr. Günther Oettinger:
It is a political question. I am convinced that if Europe does not invest more, it will come into a dangerous position, seeing terrorists, seeing Islamists and even seeing what Russia and others are investing in. It is about our own security and the security of our children and the next generation. I am totally convinced and I am sure I can convince Irish citizens as well.
