"In the wake of the economic and financial crisis, the trend among Member States is to reduce defence budgets. What I would like to highlight, although certainly not in a aggressive manner, is that the uncoordinated defence budget cuts in the EU Member States could result in reduced military capabilities in Europe. Consequently, I believe that more integration and pooling of resources could be a solution. Indeed, there are many areas in which Member States could optimise their resources, such as strategic and tactical transport, logistical support, and so on. Therefore, we need more programmes focused on pooling and sharing transport helicopters, air-to-air refuelling, maritime surveillance, drone flights, protection against chemical, biological and nuclear threats, satellite communications, etc. What is more, I also believe that the European Defence Agency should play a greater role, particularly in the context of EU-NATO cooperation."@en1
