Greece’s Integration into EU Defence Capability Development
Greece has made significant strides in incorporating European Union (EU) capability development instruments into its national defence policy and administration. This integration focuses on five primary instruments: the Capability Development Plan, the Coordinated Annual Review on Defence, the Overarching Strategic Research Agenda, the Permanent Structured Cooperation on Defence, and the European Defence Fund.
The analysis indicates that Greece’s integration has been particularly effective in areas where EU frameworks align with national strategic priorities and provide concrete industrial advantages. The authors of the study utilized national defence planning documents, legislative acts, and stakeholder engagement to evaluate the extent of this integration across both intergovernmental and supranational frameworks.
Key drivers behind Greece’s structured engagement with EU defence capability processes include geostrategic imperatives, objectives for economic recovery, and political aspirations. This active participation underscores Greece’s commitment to enhancing its defence capabilities while aligning with broader EU goals.
