Parliament's position on the proposed EDIP Regulation establishes a programme to support the European defence industry and ensure timely supply of defence products, with measures for procurement cooperation and production ramp-up. It includes provisions for additional financial contributions from various sources, prioritizing the FAST fund for SMEs, and joint statements on financing and third-country contributions.

Key points

  1. The regulation establishes the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) and a framework to ensure timely availability and supply of defence products.

  3. Financial contributions from third countries for SAFE participation should be used to reinforce EDIP, including the Ukraine Support Instrument.
  4. The EDIP Regulation foresees additional financial contributions from member states, EU bodies, third countries, and others, with priority to the FAST fund.
  5. Additional contributions should complement the €1.200 million envelope, aiming for at least EUR 150 million for FAST, respecting budgetary authority.
