Germany Fast-Tracks Military Procurement with New Law
Germany's cabinet has approved a draft law to accelerate military procurement and construction, responding to increased security concerns following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The legislation raises procurement value thresholds from €15,000 to €50,000 and construction limits up to €1 million, enabling more direct contract awards and reducing bureaucratic delays. It also broadens the definition of military needs to include certain civilian-related items and eases environmental standards for military projects. Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and Economy Minister Katherina Reiche stressed the reforms' urgency to strengthen the Bundeswehr and meet NATO defense spending targets. Critics warn that bypassing standard tender processes could increase the risk of unfair contract awards and corruption. The law is initially set to remain in force for 10 years, highlighting Germany's commitment to rapidly modernizing its armed forces.
