Simplified Security and Defence Procurement to Strengthen Europe
The EU Council has given its final approval to new laws aimed at simplifying security and defence procurement, facilitating defence investments, and supporting the defence industry. The new rules will remove administrative delays and provide a clearer path for member states and industry to act quickly and reinforce Europe’s defence capacity. According to EUbusiness, the laws are part of the EU’s so-called ‘Omnibus V’ simplification package.
