Brussels –\u00a0The European\u00a0defense sector has historical and structural delays\u00a0that\u00a0today, more than ever, pose problems of industrial and economic competitiveness and security. Everything is deferred to non-EU suppliers and technologies, paving the way\u00a0for foreign players. The sector is now calling to review\u00a0what so far has been done – and especially not done – and impose a real change of pace. ASD Europe<\/strong>, the European Association of Aerospace, Security, and Defense Industries, welcomes the new defense commissioner by offering him guidelines to follow for everyone’s sake.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“The key to reverse the persistent dominance of non-European suppliers in Europe lies in the capitals<\/strong>,” it is, therefore, up to the national governments, an ASD paper on non-European defense costs<\/a> stresses. Member states must change how they do things, and\u00a0commissioner-designate Andrius Kubilius<\/strong><\/a> will have to\u00a0coordinate a new, more European way of doing defense. “Defense procurement decisions are an exclusive prerogative of national governments,” the industry association said. “The EU can provide incentives to cooperate and buy more European (products)<\/strong>,”\u00a0the association, whose members include, among others<\/a>, Airbus, Fincantieri, Leonardo, Rolls Royce, and Saab, <\/strong>emphasized.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It is a political choice with\u00a0repercussions on\u00a0competitiveness, especially when there is much talk of a relaunch after the Draghi report<\/a>,\u00a0which is at the heart of the work of the new European legislature. ASD Europe points out how,\u00a0in the two years since Russia’s large-scale invasion of Ukraine, the dominance of non-European suppliers in Europe has reached a new peak<\/strong>.<\/span><\/span> Between February 2022 and mid-2023, acquisitions from non-European countries accounted for 75 percent of publicly announced new orders in the EU. A\u00a0market and order trend that penalizes the Union in all ways.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

“Most defense procurement decisions have important ramifications: militarily, technologically, strategically, and politically,<\/strong>” the industry association paper\u00a0continues. “Consequently, the predominance of non-European suppliers on European\u00a0defense markets bears far-reaching implications for Europe\u2019s security.” Hence, ASD\u00a0explicitly urges “to avoid critical dependencies and safeguard Europe’s security, national policy- and decision-makers should carefully evaluate the short- and long-term consequences of their procurement decisions<\/strong> and the total cost of buying non-European.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
