About this report
The European industrial landscape is undergoing a structural shift where the origin of technology is as critical as its performance. Under the framework of Regulation (EU) 2025/1106 (SAFE) and the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), the “65% Origin Rule” has emerged as the definitive benchmark for technological sovereignty.
This rule mandates that a minimum of 65% of the value of strategic systems and components must originate within the European Union or allied jurisdictions. To maintain eligibility for AAA-rated financing and the “Sovereignty Seal,” enterprises must now implement rigorous tier-by-tier supply chain mapping.
Key questions this report answers
- What exactly does the 65% Origin Rule under Regulation (EU) 2025/1106 (SAFE) and EDIP require of strategic systems and components?
- How must enterprises implement tier-by-tier supply-chain mapping to demonstrate compliance and secure the "Sovereignty Seal"?
- How does the origin rule condition access to AAA-rated financing for European defence firms?
- What supply-chain restructuring risks and costs does the 65% threshold impose on firms with non-EU sourcing?
Who it's for
Strategy, corporate-development and investment teams that need an ecosystem-level view — budgets, industrial capacity and technology landscapes — before committing capital or capacity.
