3.European officials must be held to account: since the departure of Javier Solana, European foreign, security and military policy has lost its global, strategic and professional drive. Those of us who are supportive of the project of European integration should become more critical – constructively critical. As a starting point, we need to look at the use of language, which has been used to hide meaning and create vagueness. Consequentially, all European officials and speech-writers (and academics who write about European affairs) should read George Orwell’s Politics and the English Language. For example, let’s stop talking about ‘global players’, ‘common solutions’ and ‘global problems’ – all vague nonsense and cloudy euphemism, which in Orwell’s words ‘falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outlines and covering up all the details’ – and let us hear more about ‘global powers’, ‘European interests’, and ‘threats to European security’!
