AFP - Germany supports the creation of a European army in the long term so that the EU can be a "global player," Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle told the Munich Security Conference on Saturday.

"The long-term goal is the establishment of a European army under full parliamentary control. The European Union must live up to its political role as a global player. It must be able to manage crises independently. It must be able to respond quickly, flexibly and to take a united stand," he said.
“長遠的目標是建立一支由議會完全控制的歐洲軍隊,歐洲聯盟必須履行它作為一個全球玩家的政治角色,它必須能夠獨立地處理危機,它必須能夠反應迅速、靈活和採取一致立場,“他說。
"We want strong European crisis management. This is not intended to replace other security structures. More Europe is not a strategy directed against anyone. No one has any reason to fear Europe, but everyone should be able to depend on Europe," he added.
“我們要強勁的歐洲危機管理,這不是企圖要取代其他安全結構;更多的歐洲並不是一個針對任何人的策略,沒有人有任何理由去懼怕歐洲,但每個人都應該能夠依賴歐洲,”他補充說。
He said however that this would require a pooling of resources and distribution of responsibility "even in times of ever scarcer means."

The concept of a European army was set out in the 27-nation EU's reforming Lisbon Treaty," he said.

"United Europe will only be secure if my generation, which has never experienced war, suffering or hunger, is strongly committed to European integration," Westerwelle said.

"And my generation has a chance to extend this cooperation model far beyond Western Europe, perhaps even to the whole of the European continent."
