MNI BRIEF: Defence Costs May Need EU Joint Funding: Gentiloni

(MNI) Brussels

Funding increased defence spending may require new joint EU funding, Economy Commissioner Paolo Gentiloni said Tuesday.

“Financing them (higher defence expenditures) will require a supportive framework of fiscal rules and potentially new joint funding mechanisms at European level,” Gentiloni said in a speech in Romania today.

The commissioner also reiterated that this year’s EU forecast for 4% EU growth would have to be revised down due to the impact of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
