Commissioner Kubilius says the European Union is not ready to offer euroblands to increase security costs

European Security and Space Commissioner Andreas Kubilius said in an interview with European Kubilius Euronevas to increase the necessary security capabilities to prevent any military occupation against the camp.

“Euro-species means that there will be a big debt for the EU, which must be repaid by all member states. We have a challenge on how to pay the existing debt,” the former Lithuanian prime minister said.

“The product for discussing the next several years of financial framework (EU Long -Term Budget) If we do not find any other solution, the most part of the next QFP will be spent on paying the infection loan, ”he said.

The long -term budget of the European Union (EU) refers to 1% of the GDP of Black (about 1.2 billion euros), and it is expected to repay the EU loans, resulting in the Gov -19 Bandemic subsidy, which has risen to 25 to 30 billion or 20% per year.

Kubilius said he believed that member states would use already proposed tools and preferences under the “First Reform of Europe” – now renamed “Ready 2030”– Since the volume has not yet decided on how to pay the loan contracted by the recovery funds related to the epidemic.

“Used instrument, loans or obligations (subsidies), eventually someone will have to pay this amount, so we should not choose the obligations before receiving these answers,” the commissioner said.

“Over the next four years, in an idealist situation, member states will begin to spend 3.5% of GDP, ie 2.4 billion euros. Question: Does this include all the requirements, or necessary?” He said, they believe that by June, there will be a clear view of the real needs.

At the beginning of March, European Commission chairman Ursula van der Leinen proposed a plan to mobilize 800 billion in the next four years, which is safely dependent on the increase in the state state states.

The five-point plan provides budget space to increase their security costs to 3.5% of the GDP (which leads to 650 billion euros) and to mobilize high private capital, and to change the time of the European Investment Bank (PEI) and promotes investments in the general budget.

The remaining 150 billion euros comes from a new financial credit equipment, called “safe”, which allows the commission to contract loans in capital markets, and give obligations and offer debts to member states.

In terms of this tool, the EU manager is promoting the acquisition of European security products, and at least 65% of the simple products such as missiles, small drones and ammunition must be purchased in the EU and EEFTA or Ukraine.

The remaining 35% can be purchased outside these countries, and signatures of the camp with the camp can be chosen to add to 65%.

According to Kubilius, the European industry currently requires more European investment to create the Black sector as a strategic asset. “That’s why we have very clear requirements,” he said.

“We want to encourage member states to spend more money on Europe, with the opportunity to establish joint contracts with other countries such as Britain and Canada,” said Lithuanian Commissioner.

For the remaining 650 billion euros from “Ready 20230” from the 800 billion euro project, the member states will be free to import from any country they choose.

Only safety costs should be included … safety

The European Union is trying to give its member states a higher edge of tax intrigue – but first, they must accept that security costs are considered as safety costs.

So far, the definition is very restricted, mainly refers to tanks, aircraft and weapons, except for the costs of training, hiring and paying group.

In recent weeks, countries such as Spain and Italy argued that the definition should be extended to add costs to other investments in climate change and security matters.

“Threats in Southern Europe are slightly different from those weighing in Eastern Europe. In our case, they are associated with internet security and hybrid threats: what we do is to improve our internet security skills, anti -terrorism efforts, struggle efforts, satellite protection, criteria, for their indirects, for their indirects.”

The Defense Commissioner said that it is really necessary to increase product costs and climate change, but they must be done separately from safety costs.

“We have to fight climate change. We have to fight for social security. This is also very important, but we will work. Security is a protection,” Kubilius said.

NATO reviews and many EU countries say Russia will be ready to attack one of the member states within three to ten years.

Currently, Russia produces more than Europe, with Russian security production, with only 1550 tanks, 5700 armored vehicles and 450 artillery pieces in 2024.

“To prevent the possibility of aggression, we must produce real weapons, but again, it should not be seen as a kind of competition with other tasks,” he concluded.
