Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 58

Motion for a resolution	Amendment
58. Recalls the highly unstable geopolitical situation and international environment around the Union giving rise to greater security and defence challenges since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale war of aggression against Ukraine; underlines the need for the Union and its Member States to significantly enhance Union-level cooperation of their armed forces and their defence industries in order to create a genuine capabilities-based defence Union and to better prepare for and respond to current warfare strategies, unprecedented geopolitical challenges and hybrid security threats; highlights, in particular, the need for adequate financial support to Member States with external Union borders and especially those with a land border with Russia and/or Belarus, to ensure they have the resources to maintain facilities and installations necessary to secure the external borders of the Union, including electronic border security enhancements and other tools for border monitoring and surveillance; considers that there is broad understanding that the current Union budget is too limited to meet the needs for ensuring the security of Europeans in the short and long term; therefore supports the full use of the 2024 MFF revision increase in heading 5 in order to continue better cooperation and coordination between Member States, including measures guaranteeing full interoperability and making joint procurement the rule;	58.
