LEX signing ceremony in the presence of Roberta METSOLA, EP President and Constantinos Kombos, Minister of Foreign Affairs, on behalf of the Cyprus Presidency: extracts

MEPs debate on building a stronger European defence in light of an increasingly volatile international environment. At the 2025 NATO Summit, allies committed to raising defence and security spending to 5% of their gross domestic product (GDP) by 2035, more than doubling the previous 2% target. With that in mind, plus Russia’s continuing full-scale war on Ukraine, and ongoing tensions in relations between Europe and the US, the plenary debate focus on current efforts to boost European defence. This includes strengthening military deterrence, supporting Ukraine and reinforcing Europe’s industrial capacity in the defence field.

McALLISTER, David (EPP, DE)
