Green light from the EU Parliament to arms plan for Ukraine: Pnrr funds will be used

Green light from the European Parliament with 446 votes in favor, 67 against and 112 abstentions to the law in support of the production of EU ammunition (ASAP) to strengthen the European production capacity designed to support Ukraine’s war effort. Rejected the amendments presented by the group of Socialists and Democrats which required the exclusion of the use of funds from the Pnrr and the Cohesion plan. Thanks to the introduction of specific measures, including funding of 500 million euros, ASAP aims to boost the EU’s production capacity to address the current shortage of ammunition, missiles and their components.
