Poland Seeks Additional EU Defence Financing for Military Strengthening
Background on EU SAFE Defence Programme
WARSAW, Aug 11 (Reuters) – Poland is interested in additional money from the European Union defence financing programme (SAFE) that would not be used by other countries, Deputy Minister of National Defence Pawel Zalewski said on Tuesday.
Loan Agreement and Military Investment
• Poland has signed a loan agreement under the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) initiative, securing €43.7 billion to strengthen its military as the bloc steps up efforts to boost security amid heightened geopolitical risks.
Interest in Unused Funds
• Zalewski said there is a wider pool of funds that have not been used and Poland is interested in them.
Negotiations with the European Commission
• “There will be a playoff in the negotiations with the European Commission. We will present our projects that we would like to include in this mechanism,” Zalewski said in an interview on Polish Radio.
Potential Military Purchases
• He said that any additional funds obtained could be used by Poland to purchase military transport planes or aerial refuelling planes.
