Defence: the bulk of the effort forward to the after-2017 – The World

The ads Hollande, Wednesday, April 29, after the defense counsel met at the Elysee Palace, were generally well received, to the left or right. The budgetary effort in favor of the defense is, in the words of the head of state, “considerable” . In 2015, 31.4 billion euros planned in the budget act are safe havens. “This will be the budget appropriations without a call for exceptional resources,” said Mr. Holland, thus ruling out the use of project companies in which he had himself requested the implementation.

For the next four

years, 3.8 billion euros of additional funds will be released. “These appropriations” said the President of the Republic, indicating again that this effort will not be based on random exceptional resources – it will be supported by the budget of the State and, as noted by Finance Minister Michel Sapin, before the defense counsel, “which will also go less somewhere else” .
