Brussels – With a resolution passed by 392 votes in favour, the Parliament is setting out a roadmap for future foreign policy decisions<\/strong>. Firstly, MEPs denounce the use of trade threats and economic intimidation<\/strong> by the United States against Denmark and other Member States as a form of coercion<\/strong>. The risk of a trade war with the United States does not frighten the European Parliament. The document specifies that Washington’s ambitions regarding Greenland<\/strong> must not become a tool to divide the EU, and therefore calls on governments to provide a common and determined response. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Concerns are not limited to the Arctic context. According to the resolution, an “arc of instability<\/strong>” is forming around Europe, stretching from Ukraine to the Caucasus, and from the Middle East to the Sahel.<\/strong> In this geopolitical space, EU enlargement is seen as an investment in Europe’s future. <\/p>\n

Defence is becoming a key issue for the European Parliament. MEPs are not turning their backs on the Atlantic Alliance<\/strong>; they are calling for closer cooperation. At the same time, however, they are talking about making the Union’s autonomous defence capability<\/strong> increasingly concrete. “For almost twenty years, the EU’s common security and defence policy has existed largely on paper: it is time to turn it into reality,” said Thijs Reuten<\/strong> (S&D, Netherlands), rapporteur for the document. The reference is to the Article 42.7 of the Treaty on European Union<\/a>. The legislation stipulates that “if a Member State is the victim of armed aggression on its territory<\/strong>, the other Member States have an obligation to aid and assist it by all the means in their power<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
