\n ADVERTISEMENTMember states must spend more, better and European, EU Commissioner for Defence Andrius Kubilius and the EU’s top diplomat Kaja Kallas urge in a draft of the upcoming White Paper on the Future of European Defence, seen by Euronews.\u00a0\u201cRebuilding European defence requires a massive investment over a sustained period,\u201d the Commissioners argue, adding that only through joint initiatives and coordination will EU countries be able to make a difference.\u00a0In 2024, member states reached a record investment of \u20ac326 billion, but the latest estimates indicate that at least \u20ac500 billion will be needed to plug the bloc’s critical capability gaps over the next decade.\u00a0European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen presented a five-point plan last week to rearm the continent, detailing how to mobilise up to \u20ac800 billion over the coming years. This includes a new instrument of \u20ac150 billion in loans for member states to spend on joint procurement for defence and security.\u00a0Now, the EU executive will also consider reviewing the bloc’s Sustainable Finance Disclosures Regulation (SFDR) to assess whether defence can be considered \u201can investment goal in the sustainability framework.\u201d\u00a0Creating a single market for defence, simplifying rules, and benefiting from economies of scale by working together are additional ways the Commission proposes to make more efficient use of the available funds.\u00a0\u201cCoordinating spending boosts member states’ bargaining power, lowers prices per unit, and strengthens industrial consolidation,\u201d the 20-page document says.\u00a0Kallas and Kubilius advocate for collaborative procurement and large-scale pan-European defence projects to go hand in hand in the coming years, leaving member states the power to decide on the format and purpose \u2013 i.e., to address which critical capability shortfalls.\u00a0The Commission has identified seven key critical capability projects, covering areas such as military mobility, drones and counter-drone systems, AI, quantum, cyber and electronic warfare, and air and missile defence.\u00a0The EU executive will also consider introducing a European preference into public procurement rules for strategic defence-related sectors and technologies, likely to be reviewed in 2026.\u00a0The ultimate goal of simplifying rules, cutting red tape, and promoting more joint purchases and production is to create a true European single market for defence, addressing the long-standing fragmentation of a predominantly national-focused market.\u00a0Von der Leyen’s second-mandate aspirations include creating \u201cone of the largest domestic defence markets in the world,\u201d aimed at boosting competitiveness, defence readiness, and industrial scale to help the bloc compete with global players such as China and the US.\u00a0The white paper \u2013 still subject to change \u2013 also asserts that Europe must urgently rearm itself, as it faces medium-term challenges beyond Russia’s potential military aggression, particularly in the unstable greater Middle East.\u00a0As the new US administration increasingly shifts its attention towards the Indo-Pacific, \u201cEurope cannot take the US security guarantee for granted and must substantially step up its contribution to preserve NATO strong,\u201d the paper reads.\u00a0Reducing dependencies on third countries, especially in the global technology race, is another priority highlighted by the EU Commissioners.\u00a0ADVERTISEMENTDisruptive technologies such as AI, cloud and quantum computing, and autonomous systems are already shaping the battlefield, the paper warns, adding that the EU’s strategic competitors are heavily investing in these areas.\u00a0\u201cWhile dependencies from Russia have been significantly reduced, many member states still heavily depend on technologies from third countries, including China and the US,\u201d the paper says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
