Parliament objects to the Commission delegated regulation of 28 August 2025 that expands defence investment eligibility under InvestEU, including to non-EU-controlled entities. It considers the act exceeds the Commission's powers and calls for full legislative scrutiny and a legislative proposal under the ordinary procedure for any further changes.

Key points

  1. Objects to the Commission delegated regulation amending the InvestEU investment guidelines on strategic defence investments.
  2. Considers the delegated act exceeds the Commission's implementing powers by enabling funding of non-EU-controlled entities.
  3. Stresses that decisions to use EU budget guarantees for defence projects extending eligibility to non-EU-controlled entities require full legislative scrutiny by Parliament.
  4. Calls on the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to modify the objectives or scope of InvestEU and to submit a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure if changes are needed.
  5. Instructs its President to forward the resolution to the Commission, Council, and member state governments and parliaments, and to notify the Commission that the regulation cannot enter into force.

Who is affected

  • The Commission, which must not let the delegated regulation enter into force and must use legislative procedure for future changes.
  • Non-EU-controlled entities, which would no longer be able to access InvestEU support for defence under the objected regulation.
