Abstract: Abstract In order to achieve the Union’s intervention in defense research, important limitations had to be lifted. The most important of these was compliance with the European treaties. Indeed, for a long time, many jurists felt that such an action was not respectful of the treaties. It was therefore necessary to demonstrate that such an action was indeed respectful of the European legal order. It was then necessary to demonstrate that the intervention of the Union would bring ‘added value’ to that of the member states, which was far from self-evident in a field where many defense industries are very jealous of their prerogatives and even hostile to intervention by the Union. Finally, the question of the amount of the budget had to be settled. Other questions still remain open, and one would think that they will be answered during the preparatory action. In particular, this concerns the governance of the EDRP. This article provides an overview of all these issues.
