The common foreign and security policy is a theme that has emerged in the debate. My party believes that this is an area Ireland needs to discuss in detail before coming to a final conclusion. Europe must have a common foreign and security policy which works, is to the benefit of all European citizens and will counter the reality that the only international policeman in the world is the United States of America. As I said in another place over the weekend, the great shame of Europe is Yugoslavia and what took place in the Balkans. Of the first SFOR troops sent to separate the warring parties in Yugoslavia, 90% were Americans. It was a disgrace that what happened in the Balkans should have occurred within Europe and so close to the borders of the EU. We in Ireland have a duty to debate fully the issue of a common foreign and security policy in the context of the upcoming Intergovernmental Conference. Europe needs a foreign policy to which its members can sign up.
