As illustrated by the lessons learned from the work of the Defence Joint Procurement Task Force on coordinating very short-term defence procurement needs and from the implementation of Regulation (EU) 2023/1525, the Union’s defence supply chains often have a cross-border dimension, in particular in lower tiers. It is essential to avoid the growing complexity of Union-wide supply chains for defence products resulting in the lack of visibility on overall production capacities and supply chains of the EDTIB and in the inability of Member States to make informed decisions, in particular to address shortages or to mitigate a risk thereof.
