Amendment 2

Motion for a resolution

Recital B

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

B. whereas decades of defence procurement focused on the national level, industrial fragmentation, regulatory barriers, underinvestment, divergent foreign policy objectives, lack of integrated capability planning and aggregated demand, as well as competition over intellectual property, have prevented a fully integrated single market for defence, thereby incurring significant extra costs for the taxpayer while undermining the EU’s ability to protect the safety of its citizens;

B. whereas national complementarity remains essential to the resilience and strategic sovereignty of the Union, and whereas decades of defence procurement focused on the national level, industrial fragmentation, regulatory barriers, underinvestment, divergent foreign policy objectives, lack of integrated capability planning and aggregated demand, as well as competition over intellectual property, have limited European cooperation and prevented a fully integrated single market for defence, thereby incurring significant extra costs for the taxpayer and increasing difficulties for EU defence companies in obtaining credit and equity financing, while undermining the EU’s ability to protect the safety of its citizens;

Amendment 3

Motion for a resolution

Recital C a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

C a. whereas although coordinating on a new defence system or standard may result in short-term adjustment costs, including challenges related to interoperability with existing capabilities, it could generate collective efficiencies and lower overall costs over time;

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 1

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

1. Believes that the dramatic challenges faced by the Union and its Member States require a complete rethinking of the way they cooperate on defence matters; underlines that the EU must fundamentally change its understanding of defence industry production by developing a true single market for defence, as called for in the Letta, Draghi and Niinistö reports;

1. Believes that the dramatic challenges faced by the Union and its Member States require a complete rethinking of the way they cooperate on defence matters; emphasises that this cooperation should be based on a coherent policy framework that allows flexible cooperation between Member States, promoting synergies in full respect of national competences and the provisions of Article 4 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU) and Article 346 TFEU; underlines that the EU must fundamentally change its understanding of defence industry production by developing a true single market for defence, as called for in the Letta, Draghi and Niinistö reports;

Amendment 5

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

3. Stresses that only a true single market for defence products can provide the means required to truly establish and maintain a competitive and resilient European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) of scale; underlines that a true single market for defence products is essential to close the capability gaps and to re-establish deterrence and is hence a necessary cornerstone of a strong, sovereign and competitive Union;

3. Stresses that only by addressing the remaining market and regulatory barriers that impede capital flows, competition and innovation while fully respecting national prerogatives in security and defence, can the full economic, industrial and financial potential be unlocked and the means be provided to truly maintain a competitive and resilient European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB) of scale; underlines that a true single market for defence products is essential to close the capability gaps and to re-establish deterrence and is hence a necessary cornerstone of a strong, strategically autonomous and competitive Union;

Amendment 7

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 3 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

3 a. Underlines that, in the absence of more joint defence procurement and a reduction in market fragmentation, additional demand for defence capabilities may result in price increases;

Amendment 8

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 4

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

4. Urges Member States and the Commission to act swiftly to create the true single market for defence, acting on both the supply and demand sides; recalls that the aggregating of demand through common procurement and management throughout the life cycle, regulatory simplification, and cross-border industrial integration at EU level are urgently needed to address such barriers and reduce reliance on non-EU countries as outlined in the Letta and Draghi reports;

4. Urges Member States and the Commission to act swiftly to create the true single market for defence, acting on both the supply and demand sides, based on flexible and cooperative mechanisms among Member States, respecting national competences and the provisions of Article 4 of the TEU and Article 346 TFEU; recalls that the aggregating of demand through common procurement and management throughout the life cycle, regulatory simplification, and cross-border industrial integration at EU level are urgently needed to address such barriers and reduce reliance on non-EU countries as outlined in the Letta and Draghi reports; calls for the mobilisation of private capital, ensuring that European capital markets play a key role in financing defence innovation, while safeguarding Member States’ fiscal competences, avoiding additional financial burdens on Member States’ budgets and improving long-term predictability for both Member States and industry;

Amendment 9

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 4 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

4 a.

Amendment 10

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 5

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

5. Underlines that the current structure of the defence industrial landscape leads to unnecessary duplications and inefficiencies and hampers the strengthening of defence readiness; underlines that, coupled with underinvestment, this fragmentation prevents the realisation of economies of scale that could arise from pooling defence equipment procurement and production across European companies; highlights the vital need to overcome fragmentation in the EU defence industrial landscape;

5. Underlines that the current structure of the defence industrial landscape leads to unnecessary duplications and inefficiencies and hampers the strengthening of defence readiness; notes that this fragmentation extends across industrial, financial and governance dimensions, undermining competitiveness, demand aggregation and efficient resource use; underlines that, coupled with underinvestment, this fragmentation prevents the realisation of economies of scale that could arise from regulatory streamlining and pooling defence equipment procurement and production across European companies; highlights the vital need to overcome fragmentation in the EU defence industrial landscape;

Amendment 11

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 6

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

6. Deplores the lack of coordinated capability planning and spending on defence products across the Union, which has resulted in divergent rules and eligibility criteria, creating legal uncertainty and often leading Member States to prioritise bilateral cooperation with non-EU countries; deplores that national priorities frequently take precedence over cooperation within the Union;

6. Deplores the lack of coordinated capability planning and spending on defence products across the Union, which has resulted in divergent rules and eligibility criteria, creating legal uncertainty and often leading Member States to prioritise bilateral cooperation with non-EU countries rather than seeking cooperation with other Member States as a priority; deplores the fact that national priorities frequently take precedence over cooperation within the Union due to insufficient incentive-based coordination;

Amendment 12

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 7

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

7. Believes that the current EU legislative frameworks do not provide conditions for procurement of goods with fast innovation cycles, such as in the area of drone development; expresses concern that the single market for defence is still undermined by the insufficiently harmonised application of its rules by the Member States and by disproportionate use of the exemption provided for under Article 346 TFEU, which hampers the push towards joint EU defence procurement; highlights the need for dedicated support for small and medium-sized enterprises and small mid-caps to facilitate their involvement in the defence industry supply chain, with a view to increasing innovation while building industrial redundancies that increase the Union’s resilience and security of supply;

7. Believes that the current EU legislative frameworks do not provide conditions for procurement of goods with fast innovation cycles, such as in the area of drone development; expresses concern that the single market for defence is still undermined by the insufficiently harmonised application of its rules by the Member States and by disproportionate use of the exemption provided for under Article 346 TFEU, which hampers the push towards joint EU defence procurement and funding eligibility rules, and the application of competition and State aid rules to the EDTIB; stresses that Article 346 TFEU constitutes an essential safeguard for the protection of national security interests but that its application must remain guided by proportionality; highlights the need to strategically align European defence investment, from research to deployment, including dedicated support for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small mid-caps to facilitate their involvement in the defence industry supply chain, with a view to increasing innovation while building a more integrated industrial ecosystem that increases the Union’s resilience and security of supply; stresses that SMEs and mid-caps are a core component of the EDTIB; calls on the Commission and the European Investment Bank (EIB) to simplify access to finance, including through the EIB’s dedicated investment instruments, in order to facilitate better access for start-ups and smaller suppliers, thereby strengthening supply-chain resilience and innovation;

Amendment 13

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 8 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

8 a. Notes that despite recent efforts to improve financing conditions for the EDTIB, access to finance has become a critical challenge for Europe’s defence industry and that companies, in particular SMEs, experience significant barriers to obtaining funding including because of a strict interpretation, by investors, of the EU sustainable finance framework and of environmental, social and governance criteria; notes that many investors treat conventional defence activities as incompatible with sustainability objectives, generating uncertainty and limiting access to capital; highlights that such perceptions within the financial services sector, continue to impede access to capital for defence companies, especially SMEs; is concerned that, according to the Draghi report, the EU suffers from insufficient defence spending, and SMEs and mid-caps face financing gaps of around EUR 2 billion annually, while a disproportionate share of private equity and venture capital flows to North American defence companies;

Amendment 14

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 8 b (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

8 b. Welcomes the Commission notice on the application of the sustainable finance framework and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive to the defence sector, clarifying that the EU sustainable finance framework is compatible with investing in the defence sector, and enabling sustainable funds to invest in defence-related undertakings across all industries; highlights that this framework should not impose unjustified limitations on the defence sector; calls on the Commission to further improve communication and provide clearer guidance under the EU sustainable finance framework to help financial institutions assess defence-related projects objectively; calls on the Commission to publicly reaffirm and codify that the EU’s taxonomy for sustainable activities permits investment in defence activities;

Amendment 15

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 8 c (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

8 c. Notes that cross-border defence funding and oversight in the EU continue to face fragmentation, frequent recourse to national security exemptions and limited competitive collaboration, creating financial and competition-related risks; notes that gaps in reporting, as evidenced by the European Defence Agency’s report entitled ‘Defence Data 2024-2025’1a, hinder the tracking of collaborative funding and the assessment of progress towards a more integrated internal market; notes the risks associated with multinational funding arrangements;

Amendment 16

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 9

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

9. Calls on the Council and the Commission to equip EU defence programmes with adequate funding under the next multiannual financial framework to effectively incentivise the Member States to enter into joint capability development and procurement agreements and their defence industries to engage in closer cross-border cooperation; highlights the potential of new frameworks, such as the European Defence Projects of Common Interest and Structures for European Armament Programmes, to deliver on those objectives with the assistance of adequate funding;

9. Calls on the Council and the Commission to equip EU defence programmes with adequate funding under the next multiannual financial framework to address the urgent need for joint investment in defence capacities and effectively incentivise the Member States to enter into joint capability development and procurement agreements and their defence industries to engage in closer cross-border cooperation; warns that, without integrated planning, stable long-term financing and effective implementation under the next multiannual financial framework, fragmentation will persist and limit both the EU’s industrial resilience and its strategic autonomy; highlights the potential of new frameworks, such as the European Defence Projects of Common Interest and Structures for European Armament Programmes, to deliver on those objectives with the assistance of adequate funding;

Amendment 17

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 9 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

9 a. Encourages the Commission, the Member States and the European Defence Agency to develop coordinated frameworks to support and facilitate intergovernmental cooperation structures as pragmatic steps towards more integrated and less fragmented European defence cooperation; notes that existing long-standing partnerships demonstrate the economic and operational benefits of shared capability development; underlines that supporting such bottom-up cooperation would strengthen industrial interoperability, reduce duplication and contribute to a more effective internal market for defence;

Amendment 18

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 10 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

10 a. Underlines the importance of increasing defence expenditure in line with international commitments; welcomes, in this context, frameworks to encourage joint investment in defence capabilities at EU level, as facilitated by the SAFE instrument; recalls that the flexibility of budget lines must not compromise long-term predictability for Member States and industry; stresses that funding instruments should prioritise interoperability, joint procurement, and integrated capability planning to maximise efficiency;

Amendment 19

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 10 b (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

10 b. Calls for greater coherence and transparency across funding instruments to reduce duplication, increase investor confidence, improve the efficiency of public spending and enhance Europe’s capacity to scale up critical technologies and dual-use infrastructure; calls for improved transparency, harmonised risk-management standards and strengthened cross-border oversight to ensure that internal market principles are upheld in EU defence funding; calls on the Commission to simplify award procedures and eligibility criteria and to clearly define overlaps between existing funding programmes;

Amendment 20

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 10 c (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

10 c. Calls for the EU institutions to treat the EDTIB as a strategic industrial and economic sector rather than a fragmented policy area, by ensuring, in particular, that financial regulation, including the Capital Requirements Regulation1a and the European Central Bank’s (ECB) guidance on leveraged transactions, competition policy, and capital market rules, and the EIB’s strategic priorities enable scale-up, protect strategic assets and strengthen Europe’s fiscal resilience as well as its strategic and industrial autonomy;

Amendment 21

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 10 d (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

10 d. Underlines that, in the application of EU competition and State aid rules, the Commission must prioritise the unity and integrity of the single market to avoid distortions of competition and to safeguard the level playing field and cohesion between the Member States, paying particular attention to smaller Member States whose fiscal capacities to support their national defence industries are comparatively more limited; stresses that the extensive use of national subsidies to support defence investment risks fragmenting the single market and undermining the level playing field for companies, especially SMEs, across the EU; takes note of the limited application of the national escape clause under the Stability and Growth Pact for defence-related expenditure; recalls the ECB findings that full utilisation of the national escape clause would worsen debt dynamics, particularly for high debt-to-GDP countries, effectively shifting significant fiscal adjustment from the first planning period to the second period starting in 2029 and risking a deterioration in market conditions;

Amendment 22

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 11

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

11. Calls on Member States to apply a ‘buy European’ approach, which prioritises the common procurement and increased production of defence products from the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB), Ukraine, European Economic Area/European Free Trade Association (EEA/EFTA) countries and, as a close second layer, third countries with which the Union has signed a Security and Defence Partnership, as it would ensure the EDTIB a predictable order volume, drive up private investment in R&D for defence products, and help the EDTIB to deliver innovative defence products in sufficient volumes;

11. Calls on Member States to apply a ‘buy European’ approach, which prioritises the common procurement and increased production of defence products from the EDTIB, Ukraine, European Economic Area/European Free Trade Association countries and, as a close second layer, third countries with which the Union has signed a Security and Defence Partnership while ensuring this does not threaten the national security of any Member State, as it would ensure the EDTIB a predictable order volume, drive up private investment in research and development for defence products, and help the EDTIB to deliver innovative defence products in sufficient volumes; underlines that practices such as unjustified offset requirements, abnormally low tenders facilitated by illegal State aid, and unequal access to collaborative procurement projects risk distorting competition and weakening market access; calls on the Commission to present a framework ensuring that a ‘buy European’ approach remains compatible with the single market and does not result in unnecessary administrative barriers; emphasises that the ‘buy European’ approach must not disadvantage SMEs and innovative mid-caps; stresses that procurement structuring should allow disaggregation, modular participation and partial work packages to avoid market concentration and to better enable SMEs to participate in supply chains on fair and equal terms;

Amendment 23

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 11 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

11 a. Emphasises that a more integrated savings and investment union could help mobilise private capital and improve access to financing;

Amendment 24

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 13

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

13. Believes that the implementation of Directive 2009/81/EC on defence and sensitive security procurement needs to be significantly improved and calls on the Commission to propose an ambitious revision; calls on the Commission to issue a recommendation for an interpretation of Article 346 TFEU in line with the current reality of an interdependent security architecture in the EU; calls on Member States to make use of different contract forms that stipulate for innovation, competition and private capital investments;

13. Believes that the implementation of Directive 2009/81/EC on defence and sensitive security procurement needs to be further improved to ensure greater efficiency, transparency and cooperation, while preserving the prerogatives of Member States; calls on the Commission to propose an ambitious revision focusing on legal clarity, simplification and reduction of administrative burdens that currently deter cross-border participation and slow down procurement cycles; calls on the Commission to issue a clear recommendation on the application and limits of Article 346 TFEU, including in relation to merger control, and competition and State aid rules in the defence sector, reflecting the current reality of an interdependent security architecture in the EU, enabling adequate information sharing between Member States where appropriate, while continuing to protect the strictly defined essential interests of national security, and clarifying that only measures strictly necessary for essential security interests are covered by Article 346(1)(b) TFEU and that such measures must not adversely affect the conditions of competition in the single market; calls on Member States to make use of different contract forms that stipulate for innovation, competition and private capital investments; stresses that a balanced approach, based on mutual trust and the recognition of the industrial and strategic specificities of each Member State, is the best way to encourage innovation, cooperation, and private investment in the EDTIB;

Amendment 25

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 13 a (new)

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

13 a. Calls on the Commission to clarify the application of sustainability rules to conventional defence activities, in line with streamlined procedures proposed under the Defence Readiness Omnibus; underlines the need for EU financial instruments, including a broad and flexible InvestEU approach and clear guidance under the sustainable finance framework, to remove unintended barriers to capital while maintaining compliance with international arms restrictions; emphasises that such measures would strengthen intra-EU industrial capacity, improve access to finance for SMEs, promote diversification across the Member States and regions, and ensure fair and equal participation throughout the internal market;

Amendment 26

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 14

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

14. Underlines the need to simplify and abolish hurdles related to intra-EU transfers, including mutual recognition of criteria and certification and a simplification of prior authorisation requests; calls on the Commission to urgently present proposals to further harmonise intra-EU transfers of defence products, to ensure simplification for the circulation of such products inside the Union, in particular eliminating authorisation requirements for components that are already integrated or are to be integrated into a defence product and cannot be transferred or exported as such; further calls on Member States to work towards that same goal; calls on the EU Member States to agree on new common export control rules for arms and defence goods;

Amendment 28

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 15

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

15. Underlines the need for the EU and NATO to sign a cooperation agreement on capability planning and development to ensure coherent and complementary planning and interoperable defence capabilities; calls on the Commission to prepare a legislative proposal that would allow for the use of legally binding instruments to implement and enforce NATO standards for equipment, ammunition and stocks, once such an agreement is concluded, as it would improve interoperability and set a framework for joint European testing and certification of defence equipment instead of having separate national validation for each defence product;

15. Underlines the need for the EU and NATO to sign a cooperation agreement on capability planning and development to ensure coherent and complementary planning and interoperable defence capabilities;

Amendment 29

Motion for a resolution

Paragraph 16

Motion for a resolution

Amendment

16. Stresses the need to develop a more proactive role for the EU in sustaining investment in dual-use technologies and products, in particular when they are part of the supply chains of defence products, as a means of enhancing the EU’s security of supply and resilience against hybrid and emerging threats; advocates the promotion of civilian commercialisation of these technologies as a way to expand market opportunities and strengthen the EDTIB, fostering synergies between military and civilian development; calls on the Commission and Member States to create incentives to localise supply chains in the Union of the most critical inputs for defence products;

16.
