James Lewis, director of the CSIS Technology and Public Policy Program, was quoted by Defense News, "General: EU, NATO, Need Better Tech Cooperation."
NATO and the European Union need to work more effectively toward defense technology cooperation because current military committee meetings aren't producing "much added value to the capability process," Norwegian Rear Adm. Jorgen Berrgrav of NATO's Allied Command Transformation said May 5.
Berrgrav spoke as part of a trans-Atlantic teleconference in Washington and Brussels on the future of defense cooperation between the European Union and NATO.
"The EU is under-investing across the board," said Jim Lewis of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
But many innovations that will become increasingly important - robotics, new power sources, sensor developments - come from European companies, he said. There is therefore a possibility for Europe "to speed up itself."
The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) is a private, tax-exempt institution focusing on international public policy issues. Its research is nonpartisan and nonproprietary. CSIS does not take specific policy positions; accordingly, all views, positions, and conclusions expressed in these publications should be understood to be solely those of the authors.
