- Donohoe highlighted that any defence spending within the EU budget will likely be smaller than national contributions, urging evaluation of the recovery fund before new commitments.
- He highlighted that political systems, while they may not be able to perish outright, are always at risk of deterioration, cautioning that progress should not be taken for granted as upcoming negotiations approach.
- Donohoe expressed cautious optimism about current support but acknowledged that rapidly changing global conditions could significantly affect the negotiation outcomes.
