$800 billion in arms? There's a green light!

The leaders of the 27 associate States gave the green light to the plan to strengthen Europe's defence capabilities. The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, has put forward a proposal covering investments worth EUR 800 billion to aid arm the continent and make it independent of the supply of arms from outside the EU. This is simply a historical minute for the Community, which can completely change the geopolitical scenery of the region.
