Points out that European territorial defence has been entrusted to NATO, to which 23 of the 27 Member States of the European Union belong; emphasises that, in this context, the identification of military capabilities must be done in synergy with the NATO Defence Planning Process (NDPP) and in line with the principle of 'one single set of forces'; notes that the European Union plays a key role in the regulatory field and in investments aimed at supporting industrial competitiveness, technological development and European defence logistics; calls, therefore, for complete cohesion between NATO’s capacity objectives and EU instruments – including the European Defence Fund, PESCO, the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP), the ReArm Europe Agenda and the new SAFE financial instrument – in order to avoid the duplication and dispersal of resources;
