About this report
The Security and Defence Partnership signed on 19 May 2025 between the United Kingdom and the European Union introduces a structured framework for renewed industrial cooperation in the defence sector, marking a decisive shift from the fragmentation induced by Brexit.
At its core, the agreement seeks to reintegrate the UK’s defence industry into selected European procurement and capability development processes, within the limits of EU legal and institutional autonomy, while granting the UK access to emerging instruments such as the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) fund. One of the central provisions concerns the UK's potential involvement in EU-led defence initiatives.
Key questions this report answers
- What framework for renewed defence industrial cooperation does the 19 May 2025 UK-EU Security and Defence Partnership establish?
- How would the agreement reintegrate the UK's defence industry into selected European procurement and capability development processes?
- On what terms could the UK gain access to the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) fund within EU legal and institutional limits?
