A highly interesting panel! To my question, “Will Europe be defence ready by 2030” I received a range of positive answers, but it’s clear there’s hard work ahead. We have the money but we need real will from member states. Meanwhile, industry is waiting for the “big bang” moment.

A real pleasure moderating this panel session today! Great speakers from the EU Institutions and Industry. A vision for European defence is forming, but more trust between member states and with Brussels is a must if Europe’s rearmament is to lead to genuine joint projects.

“Our policy is production, our purpose is peace!”

“Investing in defence is, given the context, one of the most ethical things Europe can do!”

Pleased that CSDS was a scientific partner to the conference. A great conference! Inspiring speeches!

“We need to empower our Defence Ministers to ensure implementation and follow-up in the Council, and reinforce the European Defence Agency.”

Interesting use of the word “empower”…

What a week! The EU announces that it will impose 50% tariffs on steel imports, and China imposes new restrictions on rare earth exports. What impact can China's overcapacity have on Europe's rearmament? Daniel Fiott provides some answers in this Policy Brief.

Sometimes the “pen might be mightier than the sword”, but we still need lots and lots of “swords” today in Europe.
