the final text before I see your stuff. I Think focus on the macron statement would be problematic and we will see a lot of changes next month until the eu election. Have in mind Target of China and Russia is to divide and conquer. The other thing is that we have a defence Focus, international stuff is in the other group with Marketa.
Final Draft:
The EU must be empowered to defend its security interests and in doing so, make a greater contribution to global security. To reach this, it is necessary to articulate common guidelines and therefor build up the capabilities to achieve these. An essential part is a meaningful integration of the separate national armed forces into a body of the EU. The distant goal here is to create a common European army under democratic control.
Due to the instable world situation, pirates support a domestic and capable defense industry. This goes with a strive for better information sharing on arms export license decisions and denials, to ensure a coherent EU arms export policy as well as an increased support for countries share the core values of the EU Charta or in self defence.
In order to be able to counter hybrid threats and disruptive changes in the geopolitical situation, it is necessary to create an interdisciplinary security council. This EU Security Council, which shall be under democratic control, should analyze the security situation and threats across the board and, in times of crisis, coordinate and control security efforts. Resilience against disinformation, cyber warfare, economic warfare needs to be strengthened and organized by a dedicate EU institution. Dependencies on supply chains, energy and critical raw materials from fragile or authoritarian nations must be sustainably reduced.
Pirates reject the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction and support the reduction of arsenals in countries that possess them. Pirates support initiatives to ban the use of systems used for autonomous or any form of digital warfare, while preserving the ability to research emerging technologies.
