Euractiv: Pressure Mounts on Finance Chiefs to Tweak EIB, Taxonomy Rules in Boost to Defence

An article by Euractiv looks at calls within the EU to revise investment regulations and stimulate funding in defence assets. The article notes that some member states are calling for amendments to criteria governing the European Investment Bank (EIB) and EU sustainability requirements.

ASD is quoted:

“Defence is a key contributor to the public good of security, which is at least as important as, and a precondition for, sustainability.”

ASD's contribution underscores the importance of redefining sustainable projects to reflect the broader societal benefits of defence investments.
