La France organisera un sommet européen sur la défense en 2022

La présidente de la Commission européenne, Ursula Von der Leyen, a annoncé, mercredi 15 septembre, qu'un sommet sur la défense européenne sera organisé au premier semestre 2022, sous présidence française. Ursula Von der Leyen a évoqué trois objectifs. Elle estime nécessaire d'améliorer la coopération entre Etats européens en matière de renseignement, en créant un centre commun européen d'analyse de la situation. Elle entend aussi doter l'Europe d'une nouvelle loi européenne contre les cyberattaques, afin d'élaborer des normes communes de défense. Elle propose enfin d'exonérer de TVA les achats d'équipements de défense produits en Europe, une mesure incitative visant à encourager les Etats à privilégier le « made in Europe » afin de réduire leurs dépendances stratégiques.
