The White Paper on the future of European Defence - Rearming Europe
To ensure peace and continue to support Ukraine, Europe needs to strengthen its defense capabilities to be in charge of its own deterrence and defence.
Consultation to contribute to the Defence Omnibus Simplification Proposal
The White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030 adopted by the Commission on 19 March 2025 envisages that the Commission will present a dedicated Defence Omnibus Simplification proposal by June 2025.
The Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space (DG-DEFIS) is the European Commission's department tasked with strengthening the competitiveness and innovation of the European Defence industry by ensuring the evolution of an able European defence technological and industrial base.
To do so, we enable investments to support defence supply chains, with a special attention on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). We also facilitate their involvement in cross-border partnerships through various tools such as the European Defence Fund (EDF).
Our work is guided by the recently published European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) and is implemented through a set of programmes and initiatives.
