For a resilient EU🇪🇺 we must pay full attention to a strong civil defence in which civil society is a key stakeholder. Civil #EUdefence is about readiness when society is under pressure, but also about upholding community cohesion and shared values!
🗣️ Ariane Rodert #EESCplenary
🛡️The question is: What does it need so Member States cooperate on #EUdefence ?
It is high time to be able to defend ourselves. With an EU that has underinvested on #defence for too long, we need to be able to act together.
Sandra Parthie at #EESCplenary 🕊️
The EU has many 'security partners'. But the label is unclear, leading to inconsistencies.
#EUdefence needs more tailored partnerships that focus on delivering results 🎯
