Launched with a EUR500 million (USD585 million) budget for 2019–20, the European Defence Industrial Development Programme (EDIDP) is laying the legal and technical foundations for launching the European Defence Fund (EDF) in 2021. The EDF will spend EUR1 billion per year until the end of 2027.
“Are we catching up with our international competitors in the defence sector? We’ve selected good projects for the EDIDP but we haven’t spent anything yet,” Alain Alexis, head of the European Commission’s directorate-general for defence industry and space (DG DEFIS) told a 29 October hearing of the European Parliament’s subcommittee on security and defence.
“We are only at the beginning of the spending process but signatures are under way for the first money to be released soon,” he said.
