欧盟财政部长正在讨论建立欧洲防卫机制的问题,这是一个联合防卫基金,使各国能够集体购买和拥有防御设备,减少国家债务。 EU finance ministers are discussing the creation of the European Defence Mechanism (EDM), a joint defence fund that would allow countries to purchase and own defence equipment collectively, reducing national debt. 该基金由Bruegel智囊团提议,旨在帮助重债国家提供昂贵的军事装备,促进单一的欧洲国防市场,以降低成本和提高互操作性。 The fund, proposed by the Bruegel think tank, aims to help highly indebted countries afford costly military equipment and promote a single European market for defence to reduce costs and increase interoperability. 行政领导和管理将在一项政府间条约下运作,并可包括非欧盟成员。 The EDM would operate under an intergovernmental treaty and could include non-EU members.
