The European Parliament first called for an EU White Paper on security and defence in 2016. The publication of the White Paper was announced as one of the first 100 days priorities of the new EC. The document would seek to address defence sector capability issues, industrial competitiveness and investment needs. It will frame the overall approach to EU defence integration, with the aim of strengthening the EU's ability to respond to threats in the face of evolving geopolitical challenges and the increased military capabilities of other global actors. With this Resolution on the topic of the EU White Paper on security and defence, the EP recognises the turning point, which the EU is currently facing given the most profound military threat to its territorial integrity since the end of the Cold War. The resolution calls for an increased EU’s defence readiness and engagement with its security and to build a true European Defence Union. Among other priorities, the Resolution welcomes the 5-point plan “Re-Arm EU” recently proposed by the EC. In line with the priorities of EPP, the EP calls for more financial measures in the domains: defence and security and for continued Ukraine support. I voted in support.
