Paris, 21/06/2002 (Agence Europe) - WEU Assembly President Klaus Bühler seized the opportunity provided by the celebration of the tenth anniversary of the Petersberg Declaration on crisis management to call on the European Union to review its European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP) in order to include the fight against terrorism. He said he hoped the Fifteen would take the opportunity provided by the European Council in Seville to confirm their commitment to developing a real common policy in this sector. In addition to measures to prevent any further attacks of the same kind as that on 11 September, he said he hoped the EU would step up its efforts to become operational across the full spectrum of Petersberg missions, including the most demanding military operations. European Security and Defence Policy must never again be compromised by the apparent lack of political will as happened in the case of WEU, said Mr Bühler, who considers the EU should propose a model of integration that is acceptable for all European partners. A solution that would exclude some of the partners would divide the Europeans and weaken NATO, notes Mr Bühler, who also considers that a solution that only develops the ESDP in the context of NATO would mean the death of ESDP. The credibility of ESDP depends on unconditional support from all Member States, he added, affirming that the granting of special arrangements to Denmark or to other countries such as Ireland would undermine the EU's credibility.
