Position Paper on the Defence Readiness Omnibus



Brussels, 16 July 2025

Position Paper on the Defence Readiness Omnibus

In seeking to address the European defence sector’s current inability to face rising geopolitical threats, the European Commission presented its Defence Readiness Omnibus. This package of proposals touches defence and civilian policies alike, with the aim of streamlining procurement, removing regulatory bottlenecks, and improving access to funding.

While the ZPP agrees with the Commission’s objectives and welcomes the potential of the reforms, we believe there is room for more ambitious action. In particular, we wish to see greater emphasis on the importance of dual-use technologies, harmonization of the fractured national policies, and strategic, long-term measures to ensure that the EU’s defence industry can maintain its momentum after the 2030 milestone currently in place.

ZPP Overview of the Industrial Accelerator Act

First introduced in the January 2025 Competitiveness Compass, the Industrial Accelerator Act (IAA, originally Industrial Decarbonisation Accelerator Act) is intended to counteract the decline of Europe’s manufacturing sector. To this end, the IAA promises to expedite permit granting processes for manufacturing projects, introduce preferential treatment mechanisms for European-made and low-carbon products, and facilitate Single Market access, with the goal of reducing the risks of strategic dependencies, creating new jobs in the sector, and overall ensuring that manufacturing reaches a value of 20% of the GDP of the EU by 2035.
