Key points

  • Uncoordinated cuts to national defence budgets are weakening the overall security potential of the European Union.
  • There is an urgent need to develop a competitive and independent European defence industrial base to reduce reliance on external powers.
  • Member States must ensure the consistent and correct implementation of existing European defence market rules to prevent market distortions.
  • The Union must take coordinated action to address growing security threats in cyberspace, including cyber-terrorism.
