Language for EU ammo target over the next 12 months for Ukraine is now looser. EU will be "aiming at" a million shells over the next year.
But there is still a discussion over whether to allow purchases of ammo from foreign countries. That has not been fully settled yet. So that will go to ministers despite claims there is a deal. -2-
To be clear, NL in my understanding, is not happy with the text, in particular on the current draft ban on buying ammo from non-EU countries. So to assert there is a deal on the EU ammo plan is simply incorrect right now. There probably will be. But there isn't.
And to be clearer: this has been the single most controversial point in the entire plan so far. So this is not a minor issue.
Hearing there is now a deal.
However that will need to be confirmed in an afternoon Coreper and then signed off by ministers at the FAC.
In fact, no Coreper. This will go to FAC and @JosepBorrellF will announce agreement at the presser at the end, presidency note says.
