   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The report expands significantly, adding new recitals and paragraphs on barriers, reports, and specific measures. It strengthens calls for a single market for defence, including references to the White Paper and urging member states to act. It adds detailed provisions on export controls, Article 346, NATO cooperation, and support for SMEs and innovation. It introduces new paragraphs on democratic legitimacy, fair distribution, and the role of the EDA. The other changes are formal: updated references and renumbering.
