Face aux menaces, il faut accroître nos moyens dans les domaines terrestre, maritime, aérien, spatial... et cyber.
Nous agissons pour :
✔️nos #armées : plus d’interopérabilité
✔️nos #finances : plus avantageux d'acheter ensemble
✔️notre #industrie: plus d’expertise 🇪🇺

Pourquoi?
Avant la guerre en 🇺🇦, seuls 8 États membres consacraient au moins 2% de leur PIB à la défense.
Au fil des années, le déficit d'investissement s'est chiffré en centaines de milliards d'euros.
Conséquence: notre base industrielle de défense 🇪🇺 n’est plus dimensionnée.

Pourquoi il est (grand) temps de renforcer nos capacités de défense 🇪🇺⏰ #WakeUpCall
La réalité des chiffres tout d'abord.
Depuis la création de la zone €, l'UE a augmenté ses dépenses de #défense de +20%...
... et pendant ce temps :
USA +66%
Russie +292%
Chine +592%

3️⃣ Reducing our dependence on imported #RawMaterials 💎
Whether it is solar, wind, hydrogen or batteries, their manufacture requires raw materials.
Almost all of which come from distant, concentrated, non-European sources.
We must be present on all value chains.

2️⃣Preparing for all scenarios📚
#REPowerEU presents options to rapidly reduce Russian gas consumption.
There are ways to be even faster.
Some alternatives, like coal & other fuel switching options in the short term, will not be very popular.
But there should be no taboos.

1️⃣ The industrial dimension of unplugging Europe from Russian gas🔌
✅ support to deep transformation of industrial processes, by investing in #electrification or hydrogen
✅ launching an industrial alliance for #solar energy
✅ optimise the potential of #nuclear power

It’s time to address our #energy dependencies! 🔋
With the #REPowerEU package adopted today, we want to provide a coordinated 🇪🇺 response to the current energy implications of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
