Legislative Package Aims to Simplify Military Project Approvals
The European Parliament is set to vote on a legislative package designed to shorten approval times for defence projects and simplify military procurement. The Defence Readiness Omnibus package, which forms part of the EU’s wider effort to increase defence production and investment, includes measures to establish common deadlines for national authorities dealing with permits for defence projects and to raise thresholds for the EU Defence Procurement Directive. The package was first reported by EU Today.
