The European Union's plan to rebuild its defense industry. Europeans must be able to acquire half of the necessary weapons from their own industry by 2030.
In 2022, the United States spent 250 billion euros centrally, while for European states the amount amounted to 58 billion euros in a fragmented manner, since only 18% of defense investments are made in common. The objective is to achieve 35% of public arms procurement carried out jointly in ten years. The Commission is counting on 1.5 billion euros needed to go until the end of 2027.
