From the report - A renewed agenda for European Union – United Kingdom cooperation

Common Understanding:

'areas relating to maritime security: ship and port facility security (in particular

related to the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code), maritime cyber security,

security aspects of maritime autonomous surface ships, International Maritime Organization

maritime security initiatives and other relevant maritime security related topics.'

Conclusion, IMO:

Welcoming QinetiQ aligns with the interests of the European Union, particularly in enhancing maritime security. QinetiQ contributes to initiatives like the European Sky Shield Initiative, which addresses emerging threats and supports the operational readiness of military forces. Their expertise in providing uncrewed aerial training services and developing innovative security solutions can significantly bolster the EU's efforts to tackle maritime security challenges, making their presence beneficial for regional stability and safety.

Interesting:

'...in areas such as: supporting Ukraine; security and defence initiatives, including on defence industry; mobility of military materiel and personnel...'

Yes, absolutely correct, however the ' interest from various industry suitors' has been dragging on for years. Although, it seems nearer the finishing line now!

They've lost their dominance, and such changes are common. When Britain had its empire, it maintained control through gunboat diplomacy, similar to the Roman Empire. The U.S. adopted this approach but now finds itself challenged by the collective power of 27 countries, making it difficult to exert influence individually. We used to excel in manufacturing various products, like motorcycles, but times have changed. Now, we find ourselves somewhat isolated and vulnerable to subservience. Filmmakers are increasingly looking to international locations with better tax incentives, reflecting the competitive nature of film production. Additionally, much of the talent is now in Europe, with ITV holding a significant connection s, which explains the heightened interest in studios.

Defence Partnership:

On Monday, the UK and EU agreed to deepen security and defence cooperation, with a view to participating in specific initiatives under the SAFE (Security Action for Europe) programme — a significant shift toward structured collaboration on shared security challenges.

This was published in a 9-page document called Common Understanding.

Points 4-8 of the agreement contain the details on this defence:

Reports are emerging, although not verified, that Greenland has reached a profitable minerals agreement with Europe following Donald Trump's push for the US to take control of the Arctic region. The agreement grants a Danish-French consortium mining rights, which likely explains Trump's outburst about tariffs on the EU today. It's typical childish behavior from him.

He opened his mouth again today.

Qinetiq currently generates more than 90% of revenue from the UK, US and Australia.

Regardless of opinions about the current government, strengthening ties with the EU is crucial for our defense security. Currently, European business represents only about 3% for QQ, but this is expected to change. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022, European governments have committed hundreds of billions of euros to enhance their military capabilities.

My plan of buying more at a lower price is out the window. Still, I can't complain about the nice increase in the stock price.

If the sp goes down a fair bit tomorrow, I'm buying more. Possibly, it will rise, especially as closer collaboration with EU countries is inevitable and necessary.

Football in focus - which, IMO, equates to an increase in advertising revenue:

Thankfully, the Brexit nonsense is at last watered down and the need for cooperation is realised again.

The letters are arriving on the doormat soon.

All countries need to be subordinate and all will be fine. Always remember to say 'thank you'.

Otherwise better join a union!

The old troll defence is kicking in nicely - it's such a regular occurrence these days that there's no need anymore to even bat an eyelid!
