The White Paper for European Defence Readiness 2030 adopted by the Commission on 19 March 2025 envisages that the Commission will present a dedicated Defence Omnibus Simplification proposal by June 2025. In particular, it recalls that "regulatory simplification and harmonisation must focus both on rules and procedures that are specific to the defence sector, and on the impact on the defence industry of EU policies and regulations that are not defence-specific, but which impede the European defence technological and industrial base (EDTIB) from responding with maximum agility to the current heightened needs".
In this context, the DG DEFIS (Directorate-General for Defence Industry and Space) launched a consultation to gather feedback and suggestions from stakeholders.
DefenseWise took part in this consultation - our contribution includes 41 concrete proposals to improve the regulatory texts in order to (i) remove regulatory barriers affecting the European defence industry, (ii) simplify and facilitate the transfer of defence products within the internal market, and (iii) streamline EU defence programmes.
