New Potential Resources of Economically Established Defence Between 2021–2027

Absztrakt

The European Committee promoted a suggestion on 2016 November 30 for the foundation of the European Defence Foundation (EDF) as a part of the European Defence Action plan (EDAP). The reason for the new proposal was the hitherto measured lowest defence expense level of the member states in 2015 (GDP 1,4%) as well as the recognition of the hiatus of the estimated yearly sum of 2 billion Euros being invested for a decade, in defence purposes in reflection to the fact that both the USA, Russia, and China have been ambitiously improving their defence capacities in the mean time. In June 2017, the bill for the establishment of the European Defence Fund found acceptance. As a result, the program appears without precedent in the budget of the interval between 2021 and 2027. The official release of the multi-year foundation framework (MFF) the conclusion applies, that the program will operate with an annual expense rate between 3,2 to 4,2 billion Euros, as well as with a 10 million Euros off-budget rate. For Hungary the 3-4 billion Euro (price of the year 2018 budget) budget will provide for capacity improvement. The annual 500 million Euros research support could enhance the modernization of the military forces along with the reinforcement of the country’s geopolitical status.
