This paper is the second of the ARES series titled “Which type of armament cooperation do we want/need?”. The purpose of this series is to explore how EU Member States envision the future of armaments cooperation, taking in account the objective to develop joint procurement as promoted in the European Defence Industrial Strategy (EDIS) and the newly adopted European Defence Industrial Programme as well as in the Security Action for Europe (SAFE) initiative. This comment, written by Daniel Fiott and Félix Arteaga from the Real Instituto Elcano, focuses on the Spanish case. A first paper has already been released on Poland’s approach and subsequent papers will examine the approaches of other Member States, including France, Italy, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Lithuania.
