Group Study – EU Defence Pyramid

🇪🇺 Concrete “legislation-ready” reforms on European defence collected by the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies ! Pick your fruits here.

We would like to propose a process for building up a European Defence Union with complete capacity.
Developing this Defence Union would be based on the concept of a defence pyramid and would address
weaknesses systematically in a step-by-step process. The European Defence Union has to be built from
a solid base and not from the roof down. Major changes in defence take a decade or more to become
effective. Thus, building the Defence Union has to start now. Ten steps for building the defence pyramid
are suggested here and will be outlined in detail in the chapters that follow. These steps differ from one
another in nature.

Kudos to Ionela Maria Ciolan (who coordinated the entire work + European DARPA paper) & to colleagues: Steven Blockmans (institutions), Mihai Chihaia (military mobility), Daniel Fiott (capability gaps), Alessandro Marrone (military operations), Christian Mölling (arms production), Paola Tessari (civil protection), Adérito Vicente, Ph.D. (nuclear deterrent).
