"In the good economic times, not all NATO countries contributed 2% of GDP to defence. The defence budgets of the EU Member States will continue to shrink following the introduction of austerity measures and measures to cut public expenditure in the budget as a result of the economic crisis. A situation has arisen where the contribution of a single NATO member country represents as much as 75% of all NATO’s defence expenditure. Although it is true that large-scale funding does not necessarily guarantee efficiency, we must seek new ways for EU Member States to cooperate in order to prevent cuts in defence expenditure having a negative impact on defence capabilities. The countries of Europe must pool their capabilities and share them in a coordinated manner, and a lot can also be achieved through framework programmes."@en1
