The time for European sovereignty has come, said European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker.

"The geopolitical situation makes this Europe's hour: the time for European sovereignty has come. It is time Europe took its destiny into its own hands. This belief that “united we stand taller” is the very essence of what it means to be part of the European Union. Sharing sovereignty – when and where needed – makes each of our nation states stronger,” he said in a statement. 

According to him, the EU is not going to militarize, but wants to achieve greater independence in this regard.
