What Regulation (EU) 2025/2643 establishing the European Defence Industry Programme and a framework of measures to ensure the timely availability and supply of defence products requires
Regulation (EU) 2025/2643, adopted on 16 December 2025, establishes the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) and a framework of measures to ensure the timely availability and supply of defence products. The Programme provides Union financial support for the period 2025-2027 to reinforce the competitiveness, responsiveness and ability of the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB). It also establishes a Ukraine Support Instrument to incentivise cooperation between Member States and Ukraine to ramp up Ukrainian defence manufacturing capacities and foster common procurement from the Ukrainian DTIB. The Regulation builds on earlier emergency instruments (Regulations 2023/1525 and 2023/2418) and extends their logic into a more long-term perspective. Key actions include common procurement of defence products, industrial reinforcement actions (such as ramping up production capacities, reservation of manufacturing capacities, and reconditioning of expired products), and supporting actions like training and reskilling. Eligibility criteria require recipients to be established and have executive management in the Union, an associated country, or Ukraine, and not be controlled by non-associated third countries. Minimum requirements mandate that components originating outside the Union or associated countries shall not exceed 35% of the cost of the end-product, with raw materials excluded. Derogations are possible for ammunition and missiles under strict conditions. The Regulation sets maximum Union co-financing rates: up to 35% of eligible costs for industrial reinforcement actions, up to 100% for supporting actions and for actions with Ukraine under the Ukraine Support Instrument, and up to 15% of the estimated value for common procurement contracts (up to 25% under certain conditions). At least 15% of the Programme envelope is reserved for common procurement actions and at least 30% for industrial reinforcement actions.
