欧盟外交与安全政策高级代表卡娅·卡拉斯周一表示,欧盟拟议的紧急安全协议必须补充而非重复北约机制,因为欧盟正在探索应对所谓“灰色地带攻击”的方式。
EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Monday that the bloc's proposed emergency security protocol must complement, rather than duplicate, NATO mechanisms as the EU explores ways to respond to so-called gray-zone attacks.
卡拉斯在布鲁塞尔欧盟防长会议后的新闻发布会上表示,成员国就拟议协议进行了初步讨论,该协议旨在提供一个协调应对所谓“灰色地带攻击”的机制。
Speaking at a press conference following an EU defense ministers' meeting in Brussels, Kallas said member states held an initial discussion on the proposed protocol, which was designed to provide a mechanism for coordinating responses to so-called gray-zone attacks.
她说:“我们也需要在紧急协议方面开展工作,因为不应有任何重复。这是大家都在说的,也是我们不想创造的。”
"We need to work also regarding the emergency protocol because there shouldn't be any duplication. That is what everybody is saying, and that is what we don't want to create as well," she said.
卡拉斯强调,该机制应与北约“携手合作”,不应建立平行结构,并补充说她已与北约秘书长吕特讨论了这一问题。
Kallas stressed that the mechanism should work "hand in hand" with NATO and should not create parallel structures, adding that she had discussed the issue with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte.
她提到北约的集体防御条款时说:“紧急协议主要是关于在未达到第五条门槛的、非武装攻击的侵略时刻,可以使用哪些工具。”
"The emergency protocol is rather which tools can be used at the moment of aggression that is not armed aggression that is under the threshold of Article Five," she said, referring to NATO's collective defense provision.
她将拟议的欧盟机制与北约第四条款区分开来,后者允许盟国在成员国安全受到威胁时进行磋商。
She distinguished the proposed EU mechanism from NATO's Article 4, which allows allies to consult when the security of a member is threatened.
卡拉斯说:“北约第四条款只是磋商,不是任何行动计划。”她补充说,欧盟提案将研究“成员国可以做什么”来应对低于武装攻击门槛的混合攻击。
"Article Four in NATO is just consultations. It's not any kind of action plan," Kallas said, adding that the EU proposal would instead examine "what member states could do" in response to hybrid attacks below the threshold of armed aggression.
乌克兰、红海 关于乌克兰,卡拉斯表示欧盟成员国同意从欧洲和平基金中分配66亿欧元(74亿美元),并强调防空仍是基辅的“关键优先事项”。但她指出,周一的会议上没有做出新的防空拦截器承诺。
Ukraine, Red Sea On Ukraine, Kallas said EU member states agreed on the distribution of €6.6 billion ($7.4 billion) from the European Peace Facility, stressing that air defense remains the "key priority" for Kyiv. She noted, however, that no new pledges for air-defense interceptors were made at Monday's meeting.
在军事训练方面,成员国同意对支持乌克兰的欧盟军事援助任务进行战略审查的第一步,包括将该任务延长两年。
On military training, member states agreed on the first step of a strategic review of the EU Military Assistance Mission in support of Ukraine, including extending the mission for another two years.
根据卡拉斯的说法,欧盟还将推进在基辅设立一个协调小组,专注于战场经验教训和加强军事教育。
The EU will also move ahead with establishing a coordination cell in Kyiv focused on battlefield lessons and strengthening military education, according to Kallas.
她表示,胡塞武装的袭击和推进增加了红海航运航线的风险,而欧盟的“阿斯皮德斯”行动帮助保持了该水道的通畅。但她表示,该任务需要额外资源才能变得更有效。
She said attacks and advances by Houthis had increased risks to shipping routes in the Red Sea, while the EU's Operation Aspides had helped keep the waterway open. But she said the mission needed additional resources to become more effective.
她指出,两个欧盟成员国表示可能提供额外舰艇,同时强调该任务不仅需要更多舰船,还需要具备相应能力的舰艇。
She indicated that two EU member states had suggested they might provide additional vessels, while stressing that the mission not only needs more ships, but also requires vessels with the appropriate capabilities.
