Europe Seeks Greater Defense Self-Sufficiency
歐洲尋求更高的國防自主權
In response to a changing geopolitical landscape, Europe is pursuing a new era of defense self-sufficiency.
為了因應地緣政治局勢的變化，歐洲正追求一個國防自主的新時代。
The conflict in Ukraine has acted as a catalyst, highlighting the limitations of the existing defense industrial base.
烏克蘭的衝突起到催化劑的作用，凸顯了現有國防工業基礎的侷限性。
Consequently, the concept of "Strategic Autonomy" has shifted from a theoretical aspiration to an urgent operational necessity.
因此，「戰略自主」(ㄓㄢˋ ㄌㄩㄝˋ ㄗˋ ㄓㄨˇ)的概念已從理論上的願景，轉變為當務之急的運作必要性。
The European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS), introduced in 2024, aims for 50% of procurement budgets to target EU-based suppliers by 2030.
2024年推出的《歐洲國防工業戰略》(EDIS) 目標是到2030年，將50%的採購預算用於歐盟內部的供應商。
Initiatives like the European Defence Industry Programme (EDIP) and the European Defence Fund (EDF) are critical, as they promote joint research and industrial scaling.
像《歐洲國防工業計劃》(EDIP) 和《歐洲國防基金》(EDF) 這類的倡議至關重要，因為它們促進了聯合研究和工業規模化。
Notably, the EU has also integrated Ukrainian defense firms into its ecosystem, recognizing the country's vital role in long-term security.
值得注意的是，歐盟也將烏克蘭的國防企業整合進其生態系統，承認該國在長期安全方面的關鍵作用。
Furthermore, despite these ambitious targets, Europe still relies heavily on non-EU suppliers, particularly the United States.
此外，儘管有這些雄心勃勃的目標，歐洲仍然嚴重依賴非歐盟供應商，特別是美國。
While the EU has made more progress in defense integration in the last three years than in the previous three decades, it remains in a difficult race to reconcile the need for a "war economy" with existing bureaucratic and fiscal constraints.
雖然歐盟在過去三年中的國防整合進展，比過去三十年還要多，但在調和「戰時經濟」(ㄓㄢˋ ㄕˊ ㄐㄧㄥ ㄐㄧˋ)需求與現有官僚和財政限制的競賽中，依然處於艱難的境地。
