If they can get it through without a veto. Highly unlikely for rather a long time and maybe not ever really,
I didn't say it was a policy document, I said it was a stated intention.
EU reform: End of veto among proposals to be considered
Conference on the Future of Europe’s 325 recommendations will now go to EU leaders
The abolition of the veto in almost all areas of EU decision-making – including on military and security matters – is among the recommendations of an EU-wide consultation aimed reforming the bloc.
The Conference on the Future of Europe has been debating proposals to reform the EU since last year but a key meeting on Saturday agreed 325 proposals to achieve 49 objectives, and will now go to EU leaders for consideration. The European Parliament approved a draft of the proposals on Friday.
The conclusions of the conference advocate greater integration, swifter decision-making and a more powerful and proactive EU.
However, the prospect of treaty changes and closer military co-operation – with the potential necessity for a referendum in Ireland – are unlikely to be welcomed by the Government in Dublin.
You're the only one falsely claiming it's as policy document, dummy.

So no, it isn't.
Dummy.
I'm the one asking for evidence that you were telling the truth.
Unsurprisingly, not.
you do realise all policies start as a consideration
You do realise that the "stated intention" of a legal organisation is not the same as some newspaper article, that doesn't say what you pretend it does.
I'm considering marrying Claudia Schiffer, when all the difficulties have been overcome.
It's called 'flag flying'...
And when Countries realise it's against their best interests they tend to take the sensible approach...
When I say 'tend to' I obviously exclude the UK on 23/06/2016!

- EU must take the lead in strengthening multilateral partnerships
- Call for increased and credible military and security assistance to Ukraine
- Need for a robust defence policy and a more resilient European Union
- Stop individual member states from vetoing foreign policy
With growing instability in the world, the rise of authoritarianism and disinformation, the EU should take the lead in strengthening multilateral partnerships and in protecting and promoting democracy and human rights globally, stress MEPs in a report on the implementation of Common Foreign and Security Policy adopted on Thursday by 474 votes in favour, 113 against and 102 abstentions.
MEPs point out that in order to deal effectively with current international challenges, the EU has to act with one coherent voice. Decisions on foreign policy should no longer be taken by unanimity, as this gives a member state the right to veto a decision taken by all the others, but instead by qualified majority.
The EU also needs to ensure its strategic sovereignty and be less dependent in key technological areas, critical infrastructure and supply chains, Parliament highlights.
Call for increased military assistance to Ukraine
Both reports strongly condemn Russia’s aggressive behaviour towards Ukraine.
The text on the Common Security and Defence Policy, adopted by 369 votes in favour, 197 against and 123 abstentions, calls for increased and credible military and security assistance to Ukraine, including by mobilising the European Peace Facility. MEPs also encourage the member states to increase their bilateral military and security assistance to Ukraine.
