Colleagues,  the next topic on the agenda is strengthening European cooperation in defence, testing and evaluation: challenges and opportunities for EU initiatives to strengthen European defence.  For this exchange of views, I have the pleasure to welcome Major General Antonio Armada Vázquez,  Director for Procurement, Support,  Industry and Interoperability at the European Defence Agency. 

So, welcome, General.  Lieutenant General, retired, Michele Risi, Director for Innovation and Training at Fondazione SAFE;  Dr. Manfred Salk,  Chief Technology Officer Weapon and Ammunition, Rheinmetall;  and 

okay.  Ah, he's online.  Sorry.  Online, Mr. Leopold Welser-Sheimb, Director Defence at AVL.  I'm sorry, colleagues, because we are three retired generals on the stairs. 

But  one is on duty, yes.  Since Russia launched its war of aggression against Ukraine,  Europe has significantly increased investment and production of defence capabilities.  Yet, new equipment cannot reach the field without the necessary testing and evaluation.
