AI:In short

The committee opinion amends the proposed regulation establishing the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), focusing on support for Ukraine's defence industry, cooperation with partner countries, and security conditions. It increases funding for Ukraine, adds new objectives and definitions, and tightens conditions on third-country involvement and technology transfers.

Position. The Committee on Foreign Affairs proposes amendments to the EDIP regulation to strengthen support for Ukraine's defence industry, extend cooperation to neighbouring countries, and impose stricter conditions on third-country involvement.

Key points

  1. Calls for incentivising Member States to cooperate with the Ukrainian defence industry, noting its underutilised production capacity.
  2. States that additional support for Ukraine should be drawn from extraordinary revenues from Russia's immobilised sovereign assets.
  3. Extends the Programme to include Western Balkan countries, Moldova and the United Kingdom, and invites Ukrainian Defence Ministry representatives as observers in relevant meetings.
  4. Adds a definition of 'regional cluster' and promotes their creation to improve interoperability and investment signals.
  5. Adds an extra EUR 1 billion from the Union budget and EUR 16.95 billion from the SAFE instrument for the Ukrainian DTIB until 31 December 2027.
  6. Requires that infrastructure used for actions be in Member States or associated countries, with exceptions respecting good neighbourly relations.
  7. Allows procurement contracts to include additional quantities for Moldova, Western Balkan countries and the UK once framework agreements are signed.
  8. Aims actions under the Ukraine Support Instrument at scaling up direct investment in Ukraine's defence production and procurement of Ukrainian products.
  9. Establishes a dedicated financial allocation for Ukraine's defence production, supports war-risk insurance, and ensures mutually beneficial knowledge transfer.
  10. Restricts recipients from being controlled by third countries unless associated, and requires digital infrastructure to comply with Union security standards.
  11. Requires that intellectual property and R&D knowledge generated under the Programme primarily benefit Member States or Ukraine, with transfers to third countries only with Union consent.
  12. Mandates that intra-EU transfers and transfers to Ukraine be processed within 2 working days, and allows the European Parliament to send observers to the committee.

Who is affected

  • Ukrainian defence industry: receives increased funding and support for scaling up production.
  • Western Balkan countries, Moldova, and the United Kingdom: become eligible for inclusion in the Programme.
  • Defence companies in the EU: face new conditions on third-country control and technology transfers.
  • Member States: must process transfer applications within 2 working days and may face restrictions on transfers to Ukraine.

Figures and deadlines

  • EUR 1 billion in current prices for the period until 31 December 2027 from the Union budget.
  • EUR 16.95 billion in current prices as grants from the Union to Ukraine, accounting for 11.3% of SAFE's overall budget.
  • 2 working days for processing transfer applications.

AMENDMENTS

The Committee on Foreign Affairs submits the following to the Committee on Security and Defence and the Committee on Industry, Research and Energy, as the committees responsible:

Amendment 1

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 7

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(7) The damage from Russia’s war of aggression to the Ukrainian economy, society and infrastructure, and in particular damage caused to the Ukraine defence technological and industrial base (Ukrainian DTIB) require comprehensive support to rebuild the latter. This is essential in order to provide the capacity to the Ukrainian State to maintain its essential functions and allow the fast recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of the country and foster its integration into the European Defence Equipment Market. A strong Ukrainian DTIB is vital for Ukraine’s long-term security as well as its reconstruction.(7) The damage from Russia’s war of aggression to the Ukrainian economy, society and infrastructure, and in particular damage caused to the Ukraine defence technological and industrial base (Ukrainian DTIB) require comprehensive support to rebuild the latter. This is essential in order to provide the capacity to the Ukrainian State to maintain its essential functions and allow the fast recovery, reconstruction and modernisation of the country and foster its integration into the European Defence Equipment Market. A strong Ukrainian DTIB is vital for Ukraine’s long-term security as well as its reconstruction. By delivering for more than three years critical capabilities to support Ukraine’s defence against Russia’s war of aggression, the Ukrainian DTIB has already proven to be extremely innovative and resilient. According to the Ukrainian ministry of defence, its production capacities are currently significantly underutilised. This instrument should hence incentivise Member States to seek active cooperation with the Ukrainian DTIB not only to ramp up the support to Ukraine, but also to cooperate in defence planning for the joint future ahead.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 9

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(9) Russia must be held fully accountable and pay for the massive damage caused by its war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitutes a blatant violation of the Charter of the United Nations. The Union and its Member States should, in close cooperation with other international partners, continue to work towards this goal, in accordance with Union and international law, taking into account Russia’s serious breach of the prohibition on the use of force enshrined in Article 2(4) of the Charter of the United Nations and the principle of State responsibility for internationally wrongful acts, including the obligation to compensate for the financially assessable damage caused. It is important that, inter alia, progress is made, in coordination with international partners, on how extraordinary revenues held by private entities stemming directly from immobilised Russian assets could be directed to support Ukraine, including its defence technological and industrial base, in a manner that is consistent with applicable contractual obligations and in accordance with Union and international law. If the Council were to adopt a CFSP decision under Article 29 TEU upon a proposal by the High Representative to transfer to the Union extraordinary cash balances of central securities depositories arising from the unexpected and extraordinary revenues from Russia’s immobilised sovereign assets, such additional support could be drawn from these revenues, in line with the objectives of the Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy.(9) Russia must be held fully accountable and pay for the massive damage caused by its war of aggression against Ukraine, which constitutes a blatant violation of the Charter of the United Nations.

If the Council were to adopt a CFSP decision under Article 29 TEU upon a proposal by the High Representative to transfer to the Union extraordinary cash balances of central securities depositories arising from the unexpected and extraordinary revenues from Russia’s immobilised sovereign assets, such additional support should be drawn from these revenues, in line with the objectives of the Union’s Common Foreign and Security Policy. Furthermore, legal pathways to use Russian immobilised sovereign assets for the reinforcement of Ukraine and its DTIB should be urgently assessed and wherever possible used.
