Ten EU countries develop air refuelling capability

Issue No. 23-24 | December 01-31, 2012

On November 19, 10 European countries, including Hungary, reached an agreement in Brussels on cooperation in the development of military air refuelling capability.

The 10 countries – besides Hungary the EU members Belgium, France, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Luxembourg, Portugal and Spain as well as the non-EU member Norway – signed a letter of intent on the topic at the meeting of EU Defence Ministers.

Norway, which does not belong to the EU but is a member of NATO, had earlier actively cooperated with the European Defence Agency (EDA) in other projects too.

Under the newly signed letter of intent, they will jointly procure – either buy or lease – air refuelling tanker aircraft. They have not decided on the type and other details as yet.
