The push for EU–NATO convergence in defence standards and procurement is driven by a simple reality: European countries have one set of armed forces that must serve both national/EU missions and NATO missions. Greater alignment between EU initiatives and NATO requirements promises benefits in cost efficiency, interoperability, and industrial effectiveness.
One area of convergence is joint procurement. When multiple countries purchase equipment together – ideally to a common specification – they can achieve bulk discounts and reduce unit costs. It has been observed that standardization and aggregated demand can significantly lower procurement expenses.
