BERLIN – Verteidigungsminister Boris Pistorius hat Kritik zurückgewiesen, Deutschland stelle seine Rüstungsindustrie über die europäische Verteidigungszusammenarbeit. Deutschland wolle diese Zusammenarbeit und agiere nicht anders als andere Länder, sagte der SPD-Politiker am Mittwoch bei der Berliner Sicherheitskonferenz.
Pistorius reagierte damit auf Kritik von Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann (FDP). Die Vorsitzende des Verteidigungsausschusses des EU-Parlaments, hatte Deutschland vorgeworfen, sich zu sehr auf Waffen deutscher Hersteller zu konzentrieren, statt mit europäischen Partnern zusammenzuarbeiten.
„Alle sagen einstimmig und jeden Tag – nicht nur sonntags –, dass wir mehr Zusammenarbeit im Verteidigungsbereich und mehr gemeinsame Rüstungsprojekte wollen“, sagte Pistorius. „Aber wenn es hart auf hart kommt, sagt jedes Land ebenso einstimmig, aber jeder für sich: ‚Meine Industrie darf nicht ins Hintertreffen geraten.‘“
Der Streit verdeutlicht ein Problem für Europas Ambitionen. Die EU-Staaten wollen stärkere Streitkräfte aufbauen und dafür mehr gemeinsam beschaffen, doch die Regierungen sind auch bestrebt, Arbeitsplätze und Fabriken im eigenen Land zu schützen.
Doch Regierungen zögern oft, große Rüstungsaufträge an Unternehmen in anderen Ländern zu vergeben. Die polnische Regierung erklärte, sie wolle 89 Prozent der fast 44 Milliarden Euro, die sie aus dem SAFE-Fonds erhält, für die heimische Industrie ausgeben.
Pistorius verteidigte diesen Ansatz. Regierungen hätten auch eine Verantwortung dafür, ihre Volkswirtschaften und Industrien zu schützen.
„Ich würde daher die Kritik in Ihrer Frage zurückweisen“, sagte er zu Strack-Zimmermann. „Und wenn es Kritik zu üben gibt, dann sollte sie sich nicht gegen Deutschland richten, sondern gegen buchstäblich alle Europäer mit einer Rüstungsindustrie.“
