VOA慢速英语：德国总理呼吁欧盟改革并有更多的军事自治

German chancellor calls for EU reform and more military autonomy
 

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday called for reforms in the European Union to admit new states and gain more military autonomy.
 
Scholz, speaking at the European Socialist Party Congress in Berlin, called for the gradual dismantling of the principle of consistency in areas such as EU foreign policy and tax policy.
 
“I know we still have a lot of persuasion to do,” he said, “but I also made it clear that if a geopolitical Europe is our aspiration, then a majority decision is progress, not Loss of sovereignty."
 
The Associated Press said many EU decisions can currently only be made when all countries vote unanimously.
 
Scholz also supports more military autonomy in the EU. He called for coordinated procurement of weapons and equipment, the creation of an EU rapid reaction force by 2025 and the creation of the European Union Command for the European Armed Forces.
 
He said, "In Europe, we need better interaction between our defense efforts," "Europe will need to increase synergy in the future, and we must confidently drive European defense together."

德国总理呼吁欧盟改革并有更多的军事自治
德国总理朔尔茨（Olaf Scholz）星期六呼吁欧盟进行改革以接纳新的国家并获得更多的军事自治。
 
朔尔茨在柏林欧洲社会党代表大会上讲话时呼吁逐渐废除欧盟外交政策以及税务政策等领域的一致性原则。
 
他说，“我知道我们还有很多的说服要做，”“可我还明确表示，如果一个地缘政治的欧洲是我们的愿望，那么多数决定就是个进展，不是主权的丧失。”
 
美联社说，欧盟很多决定目前只有在所有国家一致投票时才能做出。
 
朔尔茨还支持欧盟更多的军事自治。他呼吁协调采购武器装备，2025年前成立一支欧盟快速反应部队并成立欧洲武装部队的欧盟司令部。
 
他说，“在欧洲，我们需要我们国防努力之间更好的互动，”“欧洲未来将需要增加协同能力，我们必须信心十足地联合推动欧洲的防务。”
