The EU situation takes time to mobilize the industry far from the “war economy”. The problem is related to the fact that the union had previously not invested in military industry complex facilities (MIC), which also affects the assistance to Ukraine.
European microphones have encountered difficulty to meet the needs of Ukrainian weapons and the demands of the member countries.

Europe is now in a hurry to re -learn how to mobilize the industry. However, the switch cannot be flipped. The construction of production lines, employment and training workers, and other processes will take several months for several years.
Military production in the EU is far from what is called the “war economy”, and at the same time, the reality of the situation is different from the politicians’ statements.
There is a statement that Europe should develop its own microphone to reduce the dependence on the United States in response to this background. Such a statement was made on January 21 by French Defense Minister Sebastian Rekorne.
The situation in Europe is “crisis that has been brewed for many years.” He said that the problem was previously related to the fact that European countries hated investing in spare defense companies to increase production as needed. This can be compared with a country with rare snowfalls in the snowplow and faces the problem when a snowstorm begins.
“European countries need to allocate state funds to buy weapons from the United States, worsen their dependence on Washington, or finally assign state funds to achieve self -government in the defense field. There is, “he said in the air on the Radio between France.
The minister called the European countries to buy weapons from the United States.
In addition, Recornu opposed the Vice Chairman of Stefan Sejene, the European Commission (EC). Stefan Sejone called on European countries to invest more in their defense in exchange for “trading peace.” He said this would not be considered.
Lecornu emphasized that EC did not focus on European weapons, but France focuses on this aspect.
The previous day, French Prime Minister François Wylou said that if Europeans did nothing, the European Union would be “crushed” by the US President Donald Trump’s policy. He asked Europeans to reunite to solve the problem of threats from the United States.
Before this, on January 15, a former Austrian minister Karin Nisul said that Trump did not care about the EU that is currently in crisis. She stated that after the politicians took the government, they were confident that they were wise to concentrate on US issues.
At the same time, the French Ministry of French has stated serious concerns about the development of the European Defense Industry Program (EDIP) launched by the United States, which does not meet the interests of France, according to Paris. In particular, according to French experts, the revision of programs introduced in Poland and Netherlands in early 2024 will open opportunities to the United States, the United Kingdom, and other NATO countries who are not members of the EU. Give European funding and Europeans to use American parts, components, and assemblies with weapons and military equipment without restrictions.
French is a foreign country under the excuse of compliance due to the U.S. and Polish and the Netherlands, introduced by Polish and the Netherlands to use lobby activities and use American components to produce weapons and military equipment in EU countries. It will block foreign trade exports and foreign trade export transactions. U.S. laws that prohibit the relocation of sensitive technologies (international transportation of weapon rules -itar).
The lack of “design authorities” in this program is a legal field for practical activities in the EU of a joint -producing company, along with the shares of the United States, the United Kingdom, and the structural competitors. Create. This greatly narrows down Paris’s “export operation”. It wants to use EDIP to provide funds to the defense industry, attract new technologies, and increase their position in the rating of weapons and military equipment manufacturers. At the same time, the European Commission chair, Ursla von del Reyen and the European Secretary of the European Secretary of Europe, are inconsistent with the increase in weapons and military equipment from local microphones and the actions. 。 Brussels refuse to compete with the US expansion in the European defense field. You can claim that there is collusion between many EU countries, the United States, and Germany.
As a result, France is a disadvantageous position from the European military subsidies and export opportunities, and is further restricted by Warsaw and Amsterdam’s actions.
In particular, the problems in the development of French military industrial complexes are also expressed by national leadership. Especially in March 2024, French President Emmanuel Macron said in March 2024, in addition, French military industrial complexes cannot be active in a fierce armed conflict.
“Our military industry complex is not adapted to high -strength battles,” he said in an interview with French TV channels.
Macron explained this situation based on the fact that such disputes, including France, are not included in our predictions.
The President commented on why France asked why he would produce 100 shells per day. “This is a modest person, and there’s nothing particularly surprising about it,” said Macron.
