Exports of weapons and defense systems by EU companies to third countries

Question for written answer E-005840/2020
to the Commission
Rule 138
Eva Kaili (S&D)

In September 2019, the President of the Commission announced that the strategic priority of her new Commission was to be geopolitical in nature. The Commission has therefore been working towards developing a more solid Common Foreign and Security Policy.

In order to achieve this end, a strategic approach as regards the sales and co-development of weapon and defence systems with third countries is required. A coherent strategy of selling and co-developing defence systems should be put in place, which takes into account the strategic reliability, trustworthiness and long-term strategic alignment of recipient third countries with the EU’s strategic long-term priorities.
