Conclusions of the informal European Council of 23 September 2015 (debate)

blue-card answer . - You are right, colleague, but that is exactly why I ask governments to stop boycotting the common foreign and security policy and the common security and defence policy in the European Council. We need them. We need to act strategically. Only by being coordinated can we make the difference: for example, to end the war in Syria - rather than making it worse, as that would be a victory for Assad - and actually act in support of those who are on the ground fighting Islamic State, for instance the Peshmerga in northern Iraq, whom we are not helping at all, or only in a fragmented and uncoordinated way, thus failing our own citizens. We are failing the security and defence of our own citizens by not addressing the root causes of what makes people flee, be it in Syria, be it in Eritrea or elsewhere.
