WEBVTT

00:04.440 --> 00:08.360
I want to highlight the importance of

00:08.360 --> 00:11.190
what I call smart defense .

00:15.640 --> 00:15.960
Yeah

00:20.540 --> 00:23.780
Smart defense is key to NATO's future

00:23.820 --> 00:26.310
and it will be one of the key issues at

00:26.310 --> 00:28.760
our summit in Chicago next year .

00:30.220 --> 00:33.280
Smart defense is working together to

00:33.280 --> 00:35.447
make better use of the resources which

00:35.447 --> 00:36.669
are available to us .

00:41.440 --> 00:43.750
These are people Yes

00:46.540 --> 00:50.060
of course you know please .

00:54.340 --> 00:58.330
Mhm Mhm As you can

00:58.330 --> 01:00.830
see around us we have all kinds of

01:00.830 --> 01:04.510
possible crisis . We have shrinking

01:04.520 --> 01:06.870
resource budgets in our nations and in

01:06.870 --> 01:08.950
part we have rising costs for our

01:08.950 --> 01:10.880
capabilities . Therefore it is

01:10.880 --> 01:14.260
necessary that we all work together so

01:14.260 --> 01:16.830
that despite is reducing national

01:16.830 --> 01:19.040
budget , the alliance as a whole keeps

01:19.040 --> 01:21.096
the capability necessary to meet our

01:21.096 --> 01:22.207
level of ambition .

01:30.940 --> 01:31.940
Mhm .

01:37.140 --> 01:40.960
Mhm Now we do

01:40.960 --> 01:43.127
not need to cut back . We are faced to

01:43.127 --> 01:45.460
cut uh and since we have to address

01:45.460 --> 01:47.349
these cuts when we find the right

01:47.349 --> 01:49.349
solution again to make sure that we

01:49.349 --> 01:51.571
keep the right capabilities . One of my

01:51.571 --> 01:54.860
concerns is that european allies

01:54.870 --> 01:58.470
risk falling behind the pace of

01:58.470 --> 02:01.710
technological change because of their

02:01.720 --> 02:04.690
low level of defense spending . But

02:04.690 --> 02:07.700
when defense parties are tight it's not

02:07.710 --> 02:11.670
easy if we acknowledge that there is

02:11.670 --> 02:15.060
no more money available right now

02:15.640 --> 02:18.250
then we need to change the way we spend

02:18.490 --> 02:19.490
our money .

02:29.340 --> 02:31.350
That's not going to do . Mhm .

02:40.840 --> 02:43.760
Well when you have to do something and

02:43.760 --> 02:45.704
you assess that , you cannot do it

02:45.704 --> 02:47.816
alone . Your your solution is do it ,

02:47.816 --> 02:50.038
let's do it together but when you do it

02:50.038 --> 02:52.038
together of course you have to know

02:52.038 --> 02:54.204
which part of your sovereignty you are

02:54.204 --> 02:56.260
you agree to share with others . And

02:56.260 --> 02:58.427
then seen from the alliance we have to

02:58.427 --> 03:00.371
to have this right balance between

03:00.540 --> 03:02.429
making sure that the capabilities

03:02.429 --> 03:04.651
developed together are always available

03:04.651 --> 03:06.818
to the alliance and making sure also .

03:06.818 --> 03:08.984
But those who participate can use them

03:08.984 --> 03:11.207
for their own news when their own needs

03:11.207 --> 03:14.880
when needed . Talking to

03:14.880 --> 03:18.050
play indian Yes

03:23.840 --> 03:26.660
opportunity . Four

03:27.540 --> 03:30.900
NATO can help nations to build greater

03:30.900 --> 03:34.620
security with fewer resources but

03:34.640 --> 03:38.300
more coordination , more coherence so

03:38.300 --> 03:41.810
that together we can avoid the

03:41.810 --> 03:44.250
financial crisis from becoming a

03:44.250 --> 03:45.250
security crisis .

03:55.540 --> 03:56.540
Yeah ,

04:07.340 --> 04:10.050
yeah right .

04:13.340 --> 04:15.451
It will be too early to give examples

04:15.451 --> 04:17.790
because we are starting the process but

04:17.800 --> 04:20.350
we are working on issues like joint

04:20.350 --> 04:22.017
intelligence , surveillance ,

04:22.017 --> 04:23.961
reconnaissance , medical support ,

04:23.961 --> 04:25.794
force protection , maintenance ,

04:25.794 --> 04:27.850
logistics training . We have lots of

04:27.850 --> 04:30.017
issues on the table . As you know , we

04:30.017 --> 04:32.017
have more than 150 ideas which have

04:32.017 --> 04:34.239
been staffed already and we're going to

04:34.239 --> 04:36.183
be more precise . In a few weeks I

04:36.183 --> 04:39.120
would say missile defense is a case in

04:39.120 --> 04:42.790
point bye pulling their

04:42.790 --> 04:45.830
contributions and by sharing the costs ,

04:46.440 --> 04:49.730
allies will be able to protect their

04:49.730 --> 04:52.060
own territory and citizens against

04:52.070 --> 04:53.070
missile attack .

05:02.140 --> 05:04.251
We're going to talk with every single

05:04.251 --> 05:06.910
nation inside narrow and see what are

05:06.910 --> 05:09.077
the project which are most interesting

05:09.077 --> 05:11.188
to the nations and most useful to the

05:11.188 --> 05:12.966
alliance objective being now to

05:12.966 --> 05:14.966
transform the intentions which have

05:14.966 --> 05:17.077
been declared so far into decisions .

05:21.240 --> 05:21.440
Yeah
