COOPERAREA EUROPEANĂ ÎN DOMENIUL ARMAMENTELOR
EUROPEAN ARMAMENTS COOPERATION

Summary/Abstract: The common defence, the arms market and industry figure among the most complex topics of European integration, given that, through those topics, the problematic issues of political integration and more particularly the integration of the tools of sovereignty are posed. Nevertheless, a common European defence market doesn’t seem to be a taboo in Brussels anymore, but an essential condition for more coherence and efficiency inside the CSDP. There is a growing acceptance of the need for a common European defence effort, for ways to maximize armaments cooperation and to pool resources in the defence industry. The analysis undertaken offers an overview of the European defence sector, the dynamics of the European defence market, as well as the evolution of the European efforts to promote cooperation and integration in this sector. Lastly, some recommendations are made concerning the measures that could be taken at the European level in the short and medium term, in order to promote a strong and competitive European defence industrial base.
