    On Monday, 15 December 2025, members of the IMCO and SEDE committees approved two important reports on EU defence. One report focuses on speeding up permits for defence projects, while the other looks at changing EU rules to make it easier for EU countries to share defence equipment and work together on defence contracts. These decisions aim to help the EU become more prepared and independent in defence and security.

    The first report aims to adapt the EU defence market to the current security scenario and promote the development of a competitive and innovative European defence industry. It introduces targeted adjustments that simplify administrative procedures, cut red tape and provide more flexible solutions. In particular, it sets forward the establishment of a dedicated fast-track procedure for permit granting related to defence readiness. The Rapporteurs are Henrik Dahl and Lucia Yar.
    The second report focuses on simplifying rules for moving defence products between EU countries and improving defence procurement. EU countries need to work more closely together in response to growing security threats, especially from Russia. Members are calling for simpler rules and easier cooperation, and they want all EU countries to aim for strong defence readiness by 2030. The rapporteurs for this report are Anna-Maja Henriksson and Pekka Toveri.
