The European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) as proposed by the EU Commission will be the first step and main instrument for the implementation of the European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS). As one of the major defence companies in Europe, Rheinmetall and its entities in various EU Member States in the light of our successful single market have an inherent interest in the implementation of EDIP.
We at Optics11 support the European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) and the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), urging the inclusion of critical infrastructure protection and maritime security as key areas within the EDIP.
Due to war and recent geopolitical tensions worldwide, Europes security and defence sector is at the forefront of the EUs political agenda. Raw materials are key to produce European defence applications and therefore stable supply chains are required for the military domain. Cobalt plays a fundamental role for the European defence sector.

Method. Every quote is verbatim from the organization’s own submission to the European Commission, trimmed to its opening passage and never summarized by a model. Where a submission was filed in another EU language we show the English text the European Commission publishes alongside it, labeled on the quote; the original is one click away at the source. Groupings use the respondent type the organization itself selected when filing. We deliberately do not label anyone “supportive” or “opposed” — you read what they wrote and draw your own conclusion. Organizations only, never individuals. Reused under Commission Decision 2011/833/EU; the European Commission is not liable for this reuse.
