Arnaud Danjean said: "The EU's autonomy in the area of security and defence is the ability of Europeans to act in times of crises where NATO cannot intervene (as in the case of Georgia), and it is the unique ability of Europeans to deploy civilian and military tools for crisis management, unparalleled with other international organisations"

Arnaud Danjean concluded: "We must never forget that the CSDP is a necessity, born from the dramatic European failure in the Balkans in the 90s. 500 million European citizens will not understand if the EU abandons its ambition to contribute to security and international stability"

Gabriele Albertini said: "EU foreign and security policy has to become more ambitious and the European Parliament must be adequately involved in this process in line with its newly-acquired 'Lisbon' powers. With this objective, our Assembly has to foster a regular, systematic and effective relationship with the new Vice-President/High Representative, who is subject to a collective vote of consent by the European Parliament"

Gabriele Albertini said: "Several challenges anticipate a crucial role for us in the coming months: the setting-up of the new European External Action Service (EEAS) is of the utmost importance for EU foreign policy and the European Parliament has to play its role in terms of democratic and budgetary scrutiny. The European External Action Service has to be the EU's operational instrument to implement its foreign policy and enough funds have to be allocated from the EU budget to meet this objective" "The European Parliament should establish a continuous dialogue with the Council and the Commission at all levels to develop the best formulation, financing, implementation and monitoring of the EU External Action Service"

Gabriele Albertini concluded: "The EU needs to be more determined if we want to successfully tackle several strategic priorities, to which the European Parliament can make essential contributions, such as a common European external energy policy, stability in the Western Balkans, the transatlantic partnership as the cornerstone of the EU's external actions, strengthening global stability and security and political and economic cooperation with the EU's neighbouring countries"

Amadeu Altafaj Tardio said: "We are in a very open discussion at this point in time, considering ways and means to be more effective, both on the intervention side when a situation emerges, but also on the preemptive side," "And I would like to emphasize that second element, the preemptive side, is extremely important, and this is why we are focusing on increased economic coordination of euro area member states"

Axel Weber added: "Any discussion about institutionalisation of emergency aid is failing to get to the point. If the proposal is about lending, I don't see how this is compatible with European treaties," "If it is about the prevention of deficits, it's a very good idea. If it's about strengthening surveillance, it's okay"

Sarah Ludford told: "I don't want to get bogged down in inter-institutional quarrel. I would have preferred a commission proposal to begin with. But the commission was in caretaker mode, Mr Barrot [the former commissioner] was finishing his mandate, so it was my suggestion for member states to adopt an own initiative, since it was possible under the Lisbon Treaty,"

Hillary Rodham Clinton said: "Some have looked at the continent even now and seen Western and Eastern Europe, old and new Europe, NATO and non-NATO Europe, EU and non-EU Europe. The reality is that there are not many Europes; there is only one Europe. And it is a Europe that includes the United States as its partner. And it is a Europe that includes Russia. For in this century, security cannot be a zero-sum game. The security of all nations is intertwined. And we have a responsibility to work to enhance each other's security, in part by engaging with others on these new ideas and approaches,"
