We must build on the experience and benefits of ASAP, EDIRPA and the forthcoming EDIP and utilise the remarkable added value of European collective action for European defence.

EU has a solid defence industrial base to support both 🇪🇺 and Ukraine’s security — strengthening cooperation is key.

2. In addition to lower prices, Member States engaged in joint procurement received additional benefits from EDIRPA subsidies. These subsidies can reach up to 20% of the contract value.

The purchase is reported to be partially financed by the European Union (EU) through programs such as the EU Defense Industry Reinforcement Through Common Procurement Act (EDIRPA) or Security Action for Europe (SAFE).

What have we learned from the implementation of 🇪🇺programs?

1. The price for ammunition procured jointly under the EDIRPA program was reduced up to 50% compared to the price member states would have paid if they had acted alone.

Experience with 🇪🇺programs ASAP and EDIRPA (in future: EDIP) clearly shows the added value of EU collective tools for joint defence procurement, ensuring long-term contracts for the industry, scaling up of aggregated demand and bringing down prices.

Asap created because Edirpa was blocked in the EP
Part of the Edirpa funding moved to ASAP

The big question is how the slides on EU defence policy will change in the next months.

After its slowdown from 2008 onwards, even 2022 led only to the creation of alphabet soup (EPF, EDIP, EDF, EDIRPA, ASAP etc) with too little transformative change.
Next week I’m speaking at a serious conference on defence and the future of European security. A while back they wanted to know what I was likely to say. I said can we please leave it to the last minute to decide, as no doubt Events will happen between now and then?

I’ll write it on the plane.

Både 🇫🇷's militære indkøbsagentur og 🇪🇺-instansen EDIRPA har annonceret et større fælles indkøb af Mistral-luftværnsmissiler. En anskaffelse, Danmark er med i, og som synes at indikere, at missilet skal indgå i Hærens kortrækkende luftværn. Hvor 🇫🇷+🇪🇺 vælger åbenhed, klapper FMI dog i. #dkforsvar

Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius also said he’s open to a mechanism similar to ASAP or EDIRPA specifically for air defense.
Defense Commissioner Andrius Kubilius wants the EU’s next seven-year budget to include about €100 billion for defense
+ defense spending shouldn’t be included in deficitcalculation

Availability of defence equipment — in time and in volume — has become a condition of our defence readiness.

Our objectives are clear:

✔️Consolidate the short term achievements (ASAP and EDIRPA) into structural support to the defence industry (for joint acquisition and production capacity)

Hey EU nerds.
Can one of you pleae explain to me how EDIRPA relates to PESCO and the EDF? Is this something separate again? I am getting confused.
Thanks!

Ok, that makes sense I guess. Thanks!
And ASAP? The 500 million to buy munition and missiles? Is this a part again or an element of EDIRPA? Thanks!

Together with a separate strategy for defense investments (EDIS), EDIP will renew European defense investments

The program will embrace temporary initiatives such as the ASAP ammunition initiative and the EU's platform for defense procurement, EDIRPA. The plan is to make arrangements permanent.

EU Defence Finance Architecture 🚨

How the EU funds defence: EDF, EPF & EDIRPA drive R&D, procurement & long-term capability goals. Collaboration targets remain unmet, pushing for deeper coordination.

A co by było, gdyby się okazało, że grantu z #EDIRPA na system PPZR #Piorun nie dostaliśmy powodu zbyt późnego podpisania umowy konsorcjalnej z Litwinami i Norwegami przy czym Norwegowie nie należą do UE, a w konsorcjum #Mistral było 9 państw unijnych i ta umowę podpisano sporo wcześniej? 1/2

EDIRPA is a specific short-term budget for ammunition procurement. A reaction to a particular today's issue. EDF is a long-term form of using regular EU budget for military R&D for bottom-up projects of multinational consorita. And PESCO is a top-down coordination of demand by MSs. Different stuff..
November 14, 2023 at 10:39 AM
@thuotila.bsky.social was pretty much correct wrt. EDF and PESCO. EDIRPA is joint procurement, ASAP is supporting necessary investments to increase production of certain defence products. Notably PESCO is under EDA and the member states, the rest are under EU (EC DG DEFIS).
November 14, 2023 at 10:42 AM
Thanks! But what’s the difference between EDIRPA and ASAP then?
