Military mobility (A10-0242/2025 - Petras Auštrevičius, Roberts Zīle)
Madam President, I voted for the report on military mobility, because the security of the European Union can no longer be treated as a theoretical exercise, but as a real political responsibility manifested through concrete actions. In a context marked by Russia’s aggression against its neighbours and instability at the EU’s borders, the ability to swiftly deploy military forces and equipment on European soil is essential, both for deterring any attack and for effective defence. The report calls for the removal of bureaucratic barriers that slow down our response and concrete investments in infrastructure. dual-use. With the amendments tabled, we have shown why the EU must also invest in infrastructure in Romania, in order to facilitate military mobility. Developing a genuine the Schengen Military it is not a slogan, but a strategic necessity for Europe to be able to act quickly and credibly to deter any possible military aggression. At the same time, the report strengthens cooperation with NATO and reaffirms the role of the EU as a security actor. My vote for this report is a clear political message: EU countries must be united, determined and able to defend their citizens, territory and borders, without ambiguity or delay.
