>**EXCLUSIVE TRIBUNE – Faced with the threat of war and the acceleration of climate and technological change, the French President and German Chancellor say they want to make the most of Franco-German coordination and reflexes to make Europe more sovereign and promote its interests.**
>At a time when we are facing war on our continent, fierce global competition, accelerating climate and technological change, and threats of a global trade war, we have agreed on a comprehensive agenda to relaunch our relationship and strengthen Europe. We want to make our partnership more strategic, more operational, to deliver concrete results for our citizens and for the Union. We will make the most of Franco-German coordination and reflexes to make Europe more sovereign, focusing on security, competitiveness and convergence.
Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine has shattered the illusion that peace and security are guaranteed in Europe. We have already begun to assume greater responsibility for our own security, and we are going to do even more. We will continue to increase our own defense capabilities, also to strengthen the European pillar of NATO. We will increase our security and defense spending, support the European defense industrial and technological base, and promote a dynamic European preference, building on the Commission’s proposals for public and private investment instruments. We need to reduce our strategic dependencies and the number of defense systems in Europe, develop standardization and interoperability to create an efficient market and foster a “best athlete” logic for industry, and continue work on appropriate financing solutions. We need to step up joint production, contracting and procurement in priority capability areas, as decided at European level.
We will convene a regular Franco-German Security and Defense Council on strategy, defense and national security issues, notably to coordinate our support for Ukraine, defense planning and production, and our strategic defense objectives, as well as our forthcoming national strategic reviews. We will breathe new life into our bilateral defense cooperation projects to meet our current and future needs, while developing a joint defense innovation program.
