More than 600 innocent people died in cities like Paris, Brussels, Nice, or Ansbach,&#8221; he said.<br\/><br\/> Over the last decade the EU engaged in more than 30 civilian and military EU missions from Africa to Afghanistan, he added. <br\/><br\/> &#8220;But without a permanent structure we cannot act effectively. Urgent operations are delayed. We have separate headquarters for parallel missions, even when they happen in the same country or city. It is time we had a single headquarters for these operations.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;We should also move towards common military assets, in some cases owned by the EU. And, of course, in full complementarity with NATO.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> The Lisbon Treaty, said Juncker,\u00a0enables \u00a0EU member states to pool their defense capabilities, if they choose to do so, in the form of a permanent structured cooperation.<br\/><br\/> &#8220;I think the time to make use of this possibility is now,&#8221; he declared.\u00a0&#8220;The business case is clear. The lack of cooperation in defence matters costs Europe between \u20ac25 billion and \u20ac100 billion per year, depending on the areas concerned. We could use that money for so much more.&#8221;<br\/><br\/> His speech was criticized by some MEPs,\u00a0including Geoffrey Van Orden, UK Conservative Defence spokesman, who commented: &#8220;We should be under no illusions\u00a0\u2013\u00a0the ayatollahs of European integration see Britain&#8217;s departure\u00a0from the EU as their great opportunity. We will no longer be there to put a brake on their ambitions. This is particularly true of defense where France, in particular, has long sought to lead an EU army that excludes American influence from Europe. <br\/><br\/> &#8220;This is very dangerous in today&#8217;s challenging world. An EU army has no credibility with our potential enemies.&#8221; <br\/><br\/> Juncker&#8217;s address represents the Commission&#8217;s contribution to the informal meeting of the 27 Heads of State or Government, which takes place on Friday in Bratislava. <br\/><br\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Jean-Claude Juncker advocated in a state of the union for common
