Ursula von der Leyen said that the security challenges currently affecting the Baltic states — including drone incidents, cyber threats, and disinformation — could also impact other parts of Europe in the future. She emphasized the importance of improving Europe’s defense capabilities, preparedness, and coordination in response to these developments.

President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen emphasized that Europe "should shoulder more of its responsibility for its own security." According to her, the Rearm Europe plan "focuses on how to use all the financial levers at our disposal in order to help Member States to quickly and significantly increase expenditures in defense capabilities, urgently now, but also over a longer period of time over this decade." There are five points in this plan: ▪️ "The first part of this Rearm Europe plan is to unleash the use of public funding in defense on the national level. Member States are ready to invest more in their own security if they have the fiscal space, so we must enable them to do so. We will propose to activate the National Escape Clause of the Stability and Growth Pact. This will allow Member States to significantly increase their defense expenditures without triggering the excessive deficit procedure. If Member States would increase their defense spending by 1.5 percent of GDP on average, this could create fiscal space of close to 650 billion euros over a period of four years. ▪️ "The second proposal will be a new instrument. It will provide 150 billion euros of loans to Member States for defense investment. This is about basically spending better and spending together. We're talking about pan-European capability domains like, for example, air and missile defense, the artillery systems, missiles and ammunition, drones and anti-drone systems, but also to address other needs from cyber to military mobility, for example. This will help Member States to pool demand and to buy together. With this equipment, Member States can massively step up their support to Ukraine. So immediate military equipment for Ukraine." ▪️ "The third point is using the power of the EU budget. I can announce that we will propose additional possibilities and incentives for Member States, that they will decide if they want to use cohesion policy programmes to increase defense spending." ▪️ "The last two areas of action aim at mobilising private capital by accelerating the Savings and Investment Union and through the European Investment Bank." "Europe is ready to assume its responsibilities. Rearm Europe could mobilise close to 800 billion euros of defense expenditures for a safe and resilient Europe," Ursula von der Leyen said.
