On 5 March 2024, the Commission adopted the first-ever European defence industrial strategy (EDIS), which sets a long-term goal of achieving EU defence industrial readiness, and proposed a defence industry programme (EDIP) regulation. Experts laud its ambition, noting that its success will require political and financial buy-in.

The Iran-backed Houthi militia, which controls large parts of Yemen, has attacked numerous commercial ships in the Red Sea since mid-November 2023 'in solidarity with the Palestinians'. This poses a significant threat to the global economy, and has led to an escalation of tensions in the Middle East. The United States has launched an international operation in the Red Sea to protect commercial vessels and keep this vital shipping route open. The EU launched its own 'purely defensive' mission, EUNAVFOR ...

Defence planning (including capability development planning) is the process of establishing the military forces and equipment that a state or alliance determines are required to meet its objectives or to counteract threats. There are three major capability development processes within the European Union: each Member State's national planning; the NATO defence planning process, where applicable; and the EU's planning, which has evolved gradually since the 1999 Helsinki European Council meeting and ...

Russia’s full-scale attack on Ukraine two years ago reignited the EU’s push towards strengthening its defence capabilities and cooperation. The European Parliament and President von der Leyen, among others, believe that the EU should strive towards establishing a fully fledged ‘ ...

La commissione per gli affari esteri (AFET) del Parlamento europeo ha approvato la sua relazione annuale sull'attuazione della PESC il 28 novembre 2023. La relazione sottolinea ...

Two years after the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, the war appears to be at a stalemate. While Ukraine successfully recaptured large parts of its territory in the summer and autumn of 2022, the 2023 counter-offensive was not successful in liberating the whole of Ukraine and the war has turned into one of attrition. The European Union and United States have provided Ukraine with substantial military assistance, but continued military support is facing political challenges in ...

Le sfide globali, come i cambiamenti climatici, i conflitti geopolitici, l'erosione dei principi democratici e le disuguaglianze sociali, incidono sulla vita quotidiana e sulle prospettive delle persone. Una risposta collettiva europea nei prossimi dieci anni potrebbe contribuire ad affrontare queste sfide, generando benefici per un valore fino a 3 000 miliardi di EUR all'anno per l’intera UE. Tale cifra rappresenta circa il 18 % del prodotto interno lordo (PIL) dell'UE, ed equivarrebbe a 6 700 EUR ...
