This is in fact a key element of the European Parliament's viewpoint, in clear and particular disagreement with current formulae of setting aside funds for ESDP operations which present at least two main failures: firstly, the well known fact that such funds escape the democratic control of both national parliaments and the European Parliament; secondly, and probably worse, the evidence that these kind of funds are normally financed via different mechanisms which as a final result put the main financial strain on those Member States providing the largest number of troops with the subsequent effect that those Member States become more reluctant to engage significantly in future operations.
