Public pensions are safe. The increase in productivity and the degree of full employment will also secure pensions now and in the future. If the demographic development also leads to a balance in the demographic development via immigration policy, there is no reason to doubt the state pension insurance system.
Europe will have a common defence policy and a common defence procurement policy Europe will build 2 aircraft carriers with naval units itself to be able to respond flexibly to threats to Europe worldwide. Within NATO, too, there was a desire for Europe to become more involved in common security concepts and make its own contribution. To that end, Europe will also install a satellite-based reconnaissance and defence system that can not only analyse threats to Europe but also ward off attacks.
Europe will respect the climate agreements and make every effort to achieve the set climate targets.
National monetary policies will be abolished and replaced by a European monetary policy. National bonds will be abolished and replaced by Eurobonds. This will strengthen solidarity in the economic area, and all debts of all states will become common debts of Europe. Joint and several liability strengthens confidence in the euro and confidence in the economic strength of all European nations.
This also requires the transfer of further national competences to the EU, with the EU organising Europe-wide financial equalisation and the degree of new debt of individual nation states. The aim in this respect also envisages raising the different economic conditions in Europe to a common, more homogeneous level in the coming years.
Major research areas, such as battery development and the development of gravitational propulsion systems, will become European tasks.
The accelerated development and expansion of reusable and inexpensive carrier systems for space transport is also declared a European task. This begins with railgun launch pads, reusable launchers and gravitational propulsion systems.
In the future, Europe is to be represented by a Foreign Minister who can be elected from among the members of the European Parliament for a maximum of two legislative periods.
Foreign ministers of the nation states will form an advisory council of the European Foreign Minister to determine Europe’s position in internal dealings in advance and in accordance with the majority principle before the foreign minister speaks with Europe’s single voice. National go-it-alone approaches to foreign policy are no longer to be adopted. The vote of the advisory council will remain secret and national positions will not be published as a counter-statement. This strengthens Europe’s role in the world and puts Europe on a par with other strong partners.
The contract with the NSA for spying on all internet data nodes via the State Treaty with Mr Steinmeier as then Foreign Minister shall be terminated. The future uncovering of the spying of data by government services of third parties is considered an attack on the Federal Republic of Germany.
