The European Commissioner for Defence and Space, Andrius Kubilius, urged Spain this Friday to become an \u201cactive partner\u201d in a special program aimed at the urgent provision of missiles and other necessary equipment to Ukraine, in the context of the new \u20ac60 billion loan to strengthen that country’s defense.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

During his speech this Thursday at a breakfast briefing hosted by the New Economy Forum in Madrid, the Commissioner emphasized Spain’s role in European defense, stressing that \u201cthere is no preparation for European defense without Spain.\u201d In this regard, he highlighted the country’s leadership in the defense and space industry, emphasizing that Spain “is a European leader in the space sector” and that its contribution to projects like Govsatcom has been fundamental, enabling all member states to enjoy “sovereign satellite communications.”<\/p>\n

“Spain has shown strong support for Ukraine throughout the war,” the Lithuanian politician stated, particularly acknowledging the military commitment of the Spanish Ministry of Defense and the Armed Forces, which have provided Ukraine with priority defense equipment, including air defense systems.<\/p>\n

Kubilyus explained that, starting in April, the European Commission and Ukraine will begin implementing the \u20ac60 billion support loan to Ukraine, which will increase support for the country’s defense. This support can be allocated to the strategic priorities identified by the Ukrainian authorities, including drones, missiles, and 155mm extended-range munitions.<\/p>\n

The EU defense chief stressed that one of the biggest challenges in this area is missile production, mentioning that he had recently spoken with major European missile manufacturers about the need to increase production. \u201cI will soon embark on a missile tour, visiting missile manufacturers along with national defense ministers to discuss the implementation of what I would call a special program,\u201d announced Kubilius, who expressed his desire for Spain to be an \u201cactive partner\u201d in this program.<\/p>\n

In this context, he warned of the growing threat posed by Russian aggression, noting that \u201cour intelligence services confirm that they may be just around the corner.\u201d This, he indicated, underscores the need for EU member states to be prepared to defend one another.<\/p>\n

Article 47.2 of the EU Treaty could be \u201cmore effective\u201d than NATO Article 5<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Faced with the growing threat, Kubilius highlighted the importance of Article 47.2 of the Treaty on European Union, which refers to solidarity among member states in the face of geopolitical challenges. According to Kubilius, this article could be \u201ceven more effective than NATO Article 5,\u201d since, when activated, it would not require a unanimous decision, as is the case with NATO. Instead, it would suffice for one country to declare itself the victim of aggression, which would obligate the others to provide immediate mutual support.<\/p>\n

At the Munich Security Conference, President Von der Leyen already insisted that the European Union must bring Article 47.2 of the Treaty on European Union to life. In this regard, Kubilius indicated that it is important \u201cto be ready and aware of our capabilities,\u201d and noted that \u201cwe are therefore looking at how to implement this article.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all in this together: Commission, Member States, and industry\u201d<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The Commissioner called on European governments and industry to work together to solve a problem affecting defense production capacity in Europe. He recalled the European Union’s efforts to support the defense industry, such as the SAFE loans and funds allocated to Ukraine’s defense. However, he warned of the need to increase arms production to meet the needs of both Ukraine and the EU and NATO Member States themselves.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry is raising prices and delaying delivery dates,\u201d he stated, adding that this is due to the inability of arms production to keep pace with the increasing defense funding.<\/p>\n

In this regard, he expressed concern about the lack of coordination between available funds and the industry’s capacity to produce on a large scale. \u201cThis is not the objective of our European policy,\u201d Kubilius stated, referring to the need for industry to efficiently increase its production to meet the growing defense needs of both member states and Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The European Commissioner stressed the urgency of creating a framework in which governments can offer long-term contracts that provide industry with the necessary security to increase its production capacity. \u201cTo produce in large volumes, industry needs large, long-term orders from member states,\u201d Kubilius explained, emphasizing that investment in infrastructure, such as building factories and hiring highly skilled workers, requires stable demand, which is currently lacking. \u201cIndustry cannot take these risks without a clear commitment from governments,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Kubilus thus highlighted the need for an \u201cindustrial boom\u201d that would allow Europe to produce on an unprecedented scale to meet defense needs. \u201cDefense production must be increased urgently, both for Ukraine and for our own security interests,\u201d he affirmed. In this context, he called on all stakeholders, including the Commission, governments, and industry, to work together to guarantee long-term stability and security.<\/p>\n

“What Europe needs now is a long-term policy that ensures stable demand for defense products and creates a secure environment for industrial investment,” said Kubilius, who also reiterated that “defense is a resource for peace” and that production should focus on preventing war, not just generating commercial profits.<\/p>\n

Margarita Robles<\/strong><\/h5>\n

At the event’s opening, Defense Minister Margarita Robles affirmed that “Spain will always be committed to Ukraine, seeking a just and lasting peace,” because “neither Europe nor Spain within the European Union can remain indifferent to the atrocities we are witnessing.”<\/p>\n

Therefore, she warned, it is necessary to \u201ccontinue developing cutting-edge technologies applicable to defense\u201d and to strengthen \u201cthe industrial production of armaments and equipment that guarantees our resilience against any possible aggression and that also generates something that, for us, for the Ministry of Defense, for the Government of Spain, is very important: industrial and technological employment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been said many times that a true European industrial base for defense is necessary,\u201d she stated. \u201cIn Spain, we have an excellent base of small and medium-sized defense companies that are especially dynamic and innovative, as well as companies of considerable size, perfectly compatible and competitive in Europe and the rest of the world if necessary,\u201d she continued. \u201cAll of them can and should contribute great value to a future European industrial base,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
