This conference will address the current intentions of the European Commission with respect to defence (materiel) cooperation.

What could be negative effects of these policies and how could these be mitigated. Result of the roundtable will be a set of recommendations to the European Commission and the European Parliament to support or amend the Policies.

The conference is hosted by Marek Jurek MEP.
