(2a) The security situation in Europe requires urgent reflection on how to prevent further fragmentation of the defence sector via stand-alone EU initiatives and how to strategically link existing and future instruments.

(2b) Data shows that Member States are not meeting the 35% European collaborative defence equipment procurement benchmark. Despite incentives that use EU budget co-funding such as PADR, EDIDP (2019-2020) and EDF (since 2021), rates of collaborative investments have not changed significantly from 13% in 2019, to 11% in 2020 and 18% in 2021 which suggests that EU budget co-funding had no strong impact on the mobilisation of political will in Member States in the past.

(2c) In response to this situation and in light of the positive experience with the new European Peace Facility, the European Parliament, in its resolution of 8 June 2022 on ‘The EU’s Foreign, Security and Defence Policy after the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine’, called to urgently launch a discussion with a view to establishing another off-budget financial facility which would address the entire life-cycle of military capabilities at EU level from collaborative R&D and joint procurement, to joint maintenance, training and security of supply.

(7) In the current defence market context, marked by an increased security threat and the realistic perspective of a high intensity conflict, Member States are rapidly increasing their defence budgets and aiming at similar purchases. This results in an amount of demand which exceeds European Defence Technological and Industrial Base manufacturing capacities, currently tailored for peace time. The lack of coordination and cooperation regarding procurement risks contributing to rising prices, which could have the effect that increasing national defence budgets would not lead to stronger military capabilities.

(9a) Underlines the importance of security of supply arrangements for the development of long-term planning and cooperation, and for the functioning of the European defence equipment market. The European Council, already in 2013, called on the Commission to develop a roadmap for a comprehensive EU-wide security of supply regime which has, unfortunately, never been presented.

(13) The Short Term Instrument should offset the complexity and risks associated with such joint actions while allowing economies of scale in the actions undertaken by Member States to reinforce and, inter alia, modernise the European Technological and Industrial Base, increasing thereby the Union’s capacity resilience and security of supply. Incentivizing common procurement would also result into diminished costs in terms of exploitation, maintenance and withdrawal of the systems.

(19) Grants under the Instrument may take the form of financing not linked to cost based on the achievement of results by reference to work packages, milestones or targets of the common procurement process, in order to create the necessary incentive effect provided that the Union does not co-finance the defence product itself which would be non-compliant with the Instrument’s legal base and primary law.
