But perhaps I could go a stage further and say that what would be really damaging for the European Union would be if, having asserted the case for a common foreign and security policy, having argued the case for a European security and defence initiative, we were then to fall way short of our rhetoric in what we actually did.
Men jeg kan måske gå et skridt videre og sige, at det ville være meget skadeligt for Den Europæiske Union, hvis man efter at have forsvaret en fælles udenrigs- og sikkerhedspolitik samt en europæisk sikkerheds- og forsvarspolitik fejler i retorikken vedrørende vores handlinger.
