Amendments (3)
Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Considers the European Union and neighbourhood security environment to be increasingly unstable and volatile; regards the war in Ukraine, the conflicts in Syria and Iraq, with the rise of the terrorist organisation ISIS, the Libyan crisis and the terrorist threat in the Sahel as direct serious threats to the Union’s security; considers, too, that the US ‘pivot to Asia’ and the impact of the financial crisis on Member States’ budgets and capabilities only highlight how necessary it is for the Union to shoulder more responsibility for its own security and defence; on the current international context, characterized by inter-groups and interreligious conflicts, especially in the Middle East area, and terrorist actions performed including inside European states territory and apparently motivated by religious reasons, we urgently need to constructively cooperate between the Member States and also with external partners against any target implied in terrorist actions;
Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Considers that the current level of instability on the borders of the EU and in its immediate neighbourhood is unprecedented in the period since the late 1990s when the ESDP/CSDP was established; is concerned that the Union may not be able to be key player in addressing each of these threats and that it may too often be reduced to relying on initiatives by one or a few Member States, or on ad hoc alliances in which it has only a peripheral or reserve role to play; a greater coordination on analysing and disseminate EU intelligence and information will improve our capacity to prevent and react to crisis with more efficient results;
Amendment 28 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Considers that the Union and its Member States must, as a matter of the utmost urgency, adapt to the new security challenges, in particular by making effective use of the existing CSDP tools, by coordinating national action more closely and, where appropriate, by introducing in a pragmatic and flexible way new arrangements for the expression of European solidarity, in order to create and apply a common pro-active strategy regarding security and defence in Europe; it is of outmost importance for an enhanced cooperation and coordination among EU Member States and between Member States and partner countries on regard with security and defence matters, on counter-terrorism and on fight against organised crime;
