Europe’s security relies on moving fast.
We call for stronger EU #MilitaryMobility, including:
🛣️ investment in dual-use infrastructure;
🚛 simpler transport & customs rules;
⛑️ protection for transport workers;
🚧 better coordination at borders.
#EUDefence
Just to be sure: the #EU finances two competing anti-hypersonic missile projects (HYDIS & HYDEF), then will pick (eventually) one...
Competition = innovation AND fragmentation ✌️

We need to be ready to win the wars of tomorrow: to adapt - very quickly, to ramp up production - immediately.
We need to be smarter & quicker than our adversaries.
SMEs & startups can help if we ‘boost’ them with speedy support - the proposed #AGILE programme is exactly that!

Il valide le discours (polémique 🤷♀️) de von der Leyen et rejoint les constats du rapport du Parlement #UE 🧵
Mais il pose encore beaucoup (trop) de questions. Et n'évoque le "European Security Council!" (🏛 permettant la coordination de la #défense 🇪🇺) qu'à la fin !
