Summary/Abstract: The submitteddocument opens the debate on the future of European defence. In the presentgeostrategic context, it is advisable that the European Union should increase its militarypotential by, inter alia, reducing the number of weapon systems, strengthening cooperationregarding defence industry, increasing operational interoperability and achievingstrategic autonomy. The authors point out that the implementation of these goals maybe difficult due to the fact that they assume, to a lesser or greater extent, limiting defenceautonomy of member states, as well as due to the controversy that would arisearound a “fair” distribution of costs and profits among individual states related to theprocess of integration of the European defence industry.
