Summary
With regard to SAFE, Von der Leyen pointed out that the programme is "open to other partners" in the EU, stating that the loan could be used to acquire up to 35% of components outside the block, "but of course 65% must come from the EU". In a debate with NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte at the Industry Forum, which is taking place at the margins of the Alliance’s Heads of State and Government summit in Ankara, Von der Leyen said that the European Union (EU) is "massively increasing" its investment in defence. Von der Leyen said that the EU is committed to staying "totally aligned" with NATO objectives, stressing that the bloc and the Alliance share "the same interests and values".
Furthermore, After hearing these words from Von der Leyen, Mark Rutte argued that NATO's priority should be to ensure that the "industrial base in Europe, Canada and the United States produces more". This makes all NATO stronger. In Europe, we see more production lines, more factories to open, and that is important because Russia now has a war economy — the Russian automobile industry is contributing to the war effort — and that means that we too must do the same in Europe, Canada and the United States,” he said.
In addition, The President of the European Commission said today that the European Union is “massively increasing” defence funds, but warned that it hopes to get a “return from that investment” and to ensure that it creates jobs. The NATO summit started today in Ankara, Turkey's capital, with a focus on strengthening investment in defence, particularly of European allies in the face of a retreat from the United States (US), and support for Ukraine. " And that is the point: it is about strengthening the industrial defence base, because, with this taxpayers' money, we naturally want a return on investment.
