Spanish participation is critical
The document includes the conclusions reached after a series of seminars at the Elcano office in Brussels, and its content was the central theme of the conference held at the CDTI.
“The European Defence Fund and the future of Spanish industry” is the title of a document prepared by researchers from the Elcano Royal Institute which includes the conclusions reached after a series of seminars in the office of Elcano in Brussels, its content has been the central theme of the conference held this Thursday at the headquarters of the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI).
“The defense budgets of the countries after a season of cuts are returning to traditional levels, but now the game within the European Union It is different because what is wanted is for these military technology programs to contribute to increasing the European industrial technological base, which Europe can compete not only in defense issues but in all technologies with the rest of the actors and that requires highly coordinated investments,” he explained. Félix Arteaga, principal Security and Defense researcher at the Elcano Royal Institute.
The report indicates that among the opportunities generated in this context, the incorporation of a proposal from the commission of 13.000 billion euros for the period 2021-2027 within the multiannual financial framework of the European Union, also emphasizes that the Spanish participation is critical for the survival of much of the defense industrial and technological sector. Other data in the document indicates that among the challenges faced by the Spanish industry there is the possibility that countries like France or Germany are the main beneficiaries of the European Defense Fund which raises doubts about its sustainability and about the terms of its possible integration into broader European consortia.
