While many of the operations and missions the EU supports have military and defence implications, the EU cannot finance activities with military or defence implications from the EU budget.

A new one is the European Peace Facility, an off-budget fund with a financial ceiling of €5.692 billion financed by Member State contributions. Learn more about it in our podcast!
