On the recordNovember 2, 1999
One of the reasons this legislation is so important, the resolution being moved today, is because many of us have concerns about the new European pillar that would be created within the European Union as a result of the Franco-British accord and the Cologne summit of the EU that followed. There is the likelihood, the way things are proceeding, that the European pillar, the ESDI, would be created outside NATO within the European Union. As the chairman indicated, we are concerned about decoupling this European capacity from NATO, that is one D; about discrimination against members of NATO that are not members of the European Union, that is the second D; and about duplication of effort, the third D, duplication between NATO's capacities and the capacity that would be created within the European Union. For these reasons addressed by the resolve clause in this resolution, its passage is particularly important today.
