About this report
The strategic landscape of European defense in 2026 has been fundamentally reshaped by the introduction of the Structure for European Armament Programme (SEAP) . Established under Regulation (EU) 2025/2643 (EDIP) , the SEAP provides a voluntary and innovative legal framework designed to overcome the long-standing fragmentation of the European defense market by allowing Member States to jointly manage the entire lifecycle of military equipment.
Unlike traditional temporary consortia, a SEAP possesses its own legal personality, functioning as an international organization capable of contracting, acquiring, and maintaining strategic assets with long-term stability.
Key questions this report answers
- What legal procedures does Regulation (EU) 2025/2643 (EDIP) establish for creating a Structure for European Armament Programme (SEAP)?
- How does a SEAP's own legal personality distinguish it from traditional temporary consortia?
- What lifecycle-management, contracting, and asset-acquisition powers does a SEAP hold as an international organization?
- Why would Member States choose a SEAP to overcome market fragmentation, and what are the establishment risks?
