WHERE DO WE
WANT TO GO?
WHAT?
A European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS), to strengthen
the competitiveness and readiness of the European Defence
Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB).
EU Member States need the defence
industry to be capable of producing
more and faster. This will require
more cooperation and collective
action as Europeans. EDIS proposes
several tangible indicators :
WHY?
Following Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and the ensuing emergency
responses, it is now time to move to structural EU defence readiness to better
protect our citizens.
WHERE DO WE STAND?
The EDTIB is a competitive global player capable of producing world-class
advanced systems. But its full potential is affected by years of underinvestment
and fragmentation of defence demand along national lines. These trends have
increased dependencies on third countries.
‣
By 2030, the value
of intra-EU
defence trade
should represent
at least 35% of the value of
the EU defence market.
‣
By 2030, at least 50%
of Member States defence
procurement budget should be
devoted to
procurement from
the EDTIB,
and 60% by 2035.

procure at least 40%
of defence equipment
in
a collaborative manner.
