Watch the presentation of the booklet "A militarised Union" and the following panel discussion on the militarisation of the EU. On the occasion of publishing this booklet, the Rosa-Luxemburg-Stiftung Brussels Office and the European Network Against Arms Trade (ENAAT) took a look at where we stand after the adoption of the European Defence Fund and the EU Peace Facility and a failed EU Common Position on the exports of military technology and equipment. We invited participants to discuss on how to effectively oppose this development and what will matter in the coming years. What role does the work in the EU Parliament and that of social movements and civil society organisations play in this?

Speakers:

- Özlem Demirel, Member of the European Parliament and Vice-Chair of the Subcommittee on Security and Defence, DIE LINKE / The Left 

- Laëtitia Sédou, EU Programme Officer at the European Network Against Arms Trade (ENAAT)

- Bram Vranken, Researcher and Campaigner at Vredesactie and member of the ENAAT ‘EU Programme’ Steering Group
