  Défense européenne : entretien avec Arnaud Danjean

  Arnaud Danjean, spécialiste des questions de défense et de sécurité, député européen, accorde un entretien à L'Opinion. Il déplore : «Au niveau de l'Union européenne (UE), la défense devait être à la fois une nouveauté et une priorité. La nouveauté subsiste dans le projet de budget, approuvé le 21 juillet par le Conseil européen, mais on ne peut plus parler de priorité». Concernant le Fonds Européen de Défense (FED), M. Danjean souligne : «C'est d'abord un outil pour l'industrie et la recherche» or «il devait être pourvu à hauteur de 13 milliards et le sera de 7 milliards». De plus «la mise en œuvre du FED n'est pas finalisée et fera l'objet de règlements. Plutôt que de se concentrer sur deux ou trois projets structurants, on risque d'être dans une logique de saupoudrage et de redistribution», avertit le député. L'Opinion du 28 juillet
