The Committee on Foreign Affairs adopted the\nown-initiative report by Ana GOMES (S&D, PT) on the impact of\ndevelopments in European defence markets on the security and\ndefence capabilities in Europe.
\nThe Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer\nProtection, exercising its prerogatives as an associated committee\nunder Article\n54 of the Parliaments internal Rules of Procedure0, was\nalso consulted for an opinion on the report.
\nConcerned by the widespread and largely uncoordinated\ncuts to the defence budget in most Member States, Members\nemphasised that the cutting of defence budgets was weakening the\ndefence potential of Member States and the EU, and left a\nquestion mark over the levels of preparedness to ensure national\nand European security. The report stated that the current security\nthreats were common to the EU as a whole and should be addressed in\na united and coordinated fashion, pooling and sharing\ncivilian and military resources. It was essential to make progress\non the establishment of a European defence equipment market\nand on the development of a competitive European Defence\nTechnological and Industrial Base (EDTIB), capable of generating\nsynergies through increased cross-border coordination and providing\nthe necessary capabilities for the Common Security and Defence\nPolicy.
\nNeed for further cooperation: Members were of the view that the current budgetary\nconstraints in EU Member States should represent an opportunity for\nmore and better cooperation in the field of defence equipment\nacquisitions, to ensure better value for taxpayers money\nand ensure adequate military capabilities across the EU and a\nsustainable security of supply system.
\nThe report recalled the need for greater\nconvergence between national defence planning processes and\nwelcomed, in this context, the adoption by the Council of the\nPolicy Framework for Systematic and Long-Term Defence Cooperation.\nHowever, Members regretted, however, its non-binding nature and the\nfact that it had not introduced a clear and structured\nprocess.
\nThey demanded that cooperation and pooling and sharing\ninitiatives be given priority and that incentives be created to\nthis end. The Commission was asked to put forward a proposal\nclarifying how non-market distorting tax incentives could serve\nthese objectives.
\nNeed for a common approach on reducing\nexternal dependencies: European\ndefence companies were increasingly compensating for their reduced\nturnover in Europe through extra-EU exports. Members\nexpressed concern at the potential drawbacks of this\napproach, such as the transfer of sensitive technologies and\nintellectual property rights to their future competitors and moving\nproduction outside the EU, thus compromising Europes security\nof supply. They considered that exposing the EU to the risk of the\nEDTIB being dependent on customers in third powers with different\nstrategic interests constituted a serious strategic mistake. They\nurged Member States to comply with the principles of the EU\nCommon Position on Arms Exports, which defined a common\nunderstanding for the control of exports of military technology and\nequipment serving the coordination of national export control\nsystems.
\nUsing internal market rules to their full\npotential: the report stressed that a\nsingle defence market would ensure full transparency and prevent\nduplication of effort, which gave rise to market distortions.\nFurthermore, advances in dual-use research were of key importance\nin guaranteeing our independence and ensuring security of supply,\nin particular of critical items. Consequently, internal market\nrules should be used to their full potential through\nstrengthened cross-border cooperation to counteract the\nongoing fragmentation of the European defence and security sector,\nwhich led to duplication of defence equipment programmes and a lack\nof transparency regarding the relations between national defence\nadministrations and the defence industry.
\nMember States were asked to remove national rules that\ndid not comply with Directives 2009/43/EC\nand 2009/81/EC\nand that were hindering the internal market for defence\nprocurement, and to correctly implement and enforce Directive\n2009/81/EC, concerning procurement in the fields of defence and\nsensitive security, and Directive 2009/43/EC, concerning the\ntransfer of defence-related products.
\nThe Commission was asked to take specific steps to\nensure that the Directives were properly applied and to check and\nmonitor national transposition procedures to make sure that they\ndid not result in market distortions.
\nThe European Parliament adopted by 386 votes to 175\nwith 84 abstentions, a resolution on the impact of developments in\nEuropean defence markets on the security and defence capabilities\nin Europe.

\nThese uncoordinated cuts, coupled with structural\nproblems and unfair and untransparent practices, put the Union\nat risk by relinquishing strategic assets and capabilities and\nby forfeiting the opportunities that the coordination of defence\npolicies and the pooling and sharing of defence assets could bring\nas regards the fulfilment of the EUs prosperity and\npeace.

\nWarning of the risks of external dependencies\nin the European defence sector, Parliament considered that special\nattention should be paid to the impact of certain projects on the\nautonomy and independence of the EU, such as cooperation with\nRussia in sensitive areas like satellite launching, with Soyuz\nrockets, and strategic airlift. The European Council was asked to:\n(i) take concrete measures towards overcoming the fragmentation\nof the European defence market; (ii) provide specific\nguidelines for defence policies and the European defence\nmarket, in order to increase its transparency and\ncompetitiveness.
\nNeed for further cooperation:\nstressing that a\ncombined annual defence spending of 190 billion EUR was an enormous amount of\ntax payers money, Members were of\nthe view that the current budgetary constraints in EU Member States\nshould represent an opportunity for more and better cooperation\nin the field of defence equipment acquisitions, to ensure\nbetter value for taxpayers money and ensure adequate military\ncapabilities across the EU and a sustainable security of supply\nsystem.
