“The EU is facing an increasingly complex and worsening landscape of dangers characterized by growing geopolitical tensionsincluding conflicts, the increasing effects of climate change, environmental degradation and hybrid and cyber thicks, “the newspaper said, citing the draft.
The document warns that the higher risk environment is due to the “increased activity of the Haksbists, cyberspace criminals and state funded groups,” the FT said.
The draft document, which is expected to be published next week and is subject to changes, says there is “a limited common understanding of which basic goods are necessary for the readiness in the event of a crisis in a rapidly evolving landscape full of dangers,” the newspaper said.
In March, the European Commission presented its strategy for the EU readiness union, urging Member States to strengthen stocks in critical equipment and encouraging citizens to maintain necessary supplies for at least 72 hours in the event of emergency.
The strategy was designed to prepare the bloc for dangers such as natural disasters, cyberattacks and geopolitical crises, including the possibility of an armed attack on EU countries.
