Tunisia European Peace Facility: Council adopts assistance measures in support of the armed forces of Jordan
The Council adopted the third bilateral assistance measure under the EPF worth €35 million to strengthen defence capacities and capabilities of the Jordanian Armed Forces. This measure brings the total amount of EPF support to Jordan to €55.25 million to date.
Today’s decision signals the EU’s growing engagement with Jordan, marked by the recent signature of the EU-Jordan Strategic and Comprehensive Partnership (SCP). The new EPF assistance measure will contribute to strengthening security and defence cooperation, one of the five key areas identified by the SCP and demonstrates the EU’s continued commitment to supporting Jordan’s stability and resilience.
The objective is to enhance the air defence capabilities, and therefore also to strengthen Jordan’s contribution to regional security. Through the European Peace Facility measure, the EU will provide to the Jordanian Armed Forces short-range radars and a local command and control system and, where needed, related supplies and services, including operational and maintenance training.
