Estonia, France and Poland issue call for ‘urgently’ increasing Europe’s defence readiness in new European Defence Industrial Strategy
Along with the new strategy, the Commission has proposed a European Defence Industry Programme to “bridge from short-term emergency measures, adopted in 2023 and ending in 2025, to a more structural and longer-term approach to achieve defence industrial readiness,” the Commission said in a statement.
The programme will mobilise €1.5 billion of the EU budget for 2025-2027.
