责任法： 受美国启发制定《欧盟准备法》的理由

POLICY BRIEFLAW OF DUTY:THE CASE FOR A US-INSPIRED EU PREPAREDNESS ACTTiago AntunesMay 2025SUMMARYEurope faces an era of geopolitical uncertainty,demanding a stronger response to security threats.Increased defence spending is essential but not enough.To be truly prepared,the EU needs a whole-of-society approach.An EU Preparedness Act,partly inspired by the US Defense Production Act(DPA),would empower the EU to mobilise industrial capacity,protect critical infrastructure,safeguard supply chains and ensure access to raw materials during crises.Current EU emergency tools fall far short of the scope of the DPA because they lack the command-and-control authority needed to address systemic disruptions.While the DPA cannot be replicated wholesale,some of its provisions could be adapted to the EU legal context.The adoption of an EU Preparedness Act finds legal basis in existing treaty provisions and adheres to the principles of conferral,subsidiarity and proportionality.
