The European Parliament has approved measures to enhance EU support for defense investment by amending major funding programs. The legislation aims to boost Europe's defense technological base by directing EU funding to defense projects. The amendments include enhancing resilience against hybrid attacks, supporting Ukraine's defense industry, and facilitating funding for dual-use technologies. The focus is on strategic use of existing programs, not new budgets. The next steps involve formal endorsement by the Council before entering into force. This initiative aligns with the ReArm Europe plan and the EU's goal of strengthening defense capabilities.
