MIL-OSI Europe: Written question – Defence funding for non-EU countries in the new multiannual financial framework – E-002723/2025

Question for written answer  E-002723/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Georgios Aftias (PPE)

The Commission plans to present the report on the multiannual financial framework, which includes European defence funding, on 16 July 2025. It is inconceivable – and beyond all logic – that a non-EU country, such as Türkiye, a country which directly or indirectly threatens Greece, an EU Member State, is allowed to participate in European defence funds with EU citizens’ money.

Is the Commission going to finance the defence of Türkiye, a country which is not in the EU, which threatens Greece and which has not yet lifted the casus belli against my country?
