🇪🇺🇨🇦 Transatlantic defence ties are strong, and the EU–Canada Industry Dialogue at #Eurosatory2026 proved it. Canada is a trusted partner. Happy to see growing European defence industry ties with Canada’s defence companies, the EU instruments like SAFE will facilitate this. 1/

#EUDefence production must accelerate to match today’s security realities. At today’s #ImplementationDialogue, the message was clear: we are not yet ramping up at the speed and scale required. We need fewer bespoke systems, more scalable solutions & a truly integrated market.1/

Glad to be at #Eurosatory 🇫🇷, the biggest meet-up of the defence industry. #EUDefence markets are underpinned by 27 sets of rules. Fragmentation costs money, creates barriers slows innovation for businesses. 1/ Read my keynote ⬇️ 🔗link.europa.eu/8K9Qmc
