The European Union needs to improve its approach to sharing defence spending costs, according to French Finance Minister Eric Lombard. As Europe faces growing security challenges, there are increasing calls for increased defence spending and a more collaborative approach to budgeting. By sharing the financial burden more effectively, EU member states can ensure a stronger, more unified defence strategy. This move is expected to boost European defence capabilities and promote a more stable and secure region. Key initiatives like defence budget planning and military modernisation will be crucial in achieving this goal.
