Ms Kata Tütt:
As I understand, the new fund on defence will be able to finance investment in industries like drone technology but the decision is centralised, or will be centralised to, the European Commission and this decision has zero territorial dimension. It will be up to Ursula von der Leyen on whether to support the drone factory here or in Constana. It is your decision whether you want this superpower going to the European Commission.
