Convention on the Future of Europe: Statements.
We have a Common Agriculture Policy and an Internal Market Policy, but eventually we will have to have a common security and defence policy. We cannot have a common foreign policy without a defence policy. We should not be afraid to accept our role in the defence of Europe. As Senator Dardis stated, we should not be afraid of joining with the other members of the European Union to prevent genocide or such disasters occurring elsewhere. This is something we can work on and move towards.
