Europe needs a strong defence industry and a democratically controlled federal army.

As authoritarian regimes challenge our unity, we must be ready to defend every EU member state.

We respond together to natural disasters. We must stand together against aggression.

Its concern: procurement values show how much is bought, but not whether public funding increased capacity, reduced costs or improved outcomes.

It is the fourth defence payment under the €90bn EU support loan.
