#MilitaryMobility. You’ll hear much more about this in coming weeks & months. It is basically a win-win for govs as they upgrade their country’s infrastructure & match standards needed to move military equipment from A to B. Check @epc_eu @Mihai_Chihaia & @FNFreiheit work on it

✔️ “Kubilius said he had no wish to duplicate the role of Nato. Officials at the US-dominated alliance have criticised the EU’s alternative set of equipment standards and procurement efforts”
