Closed airspace and police on alert. During the autumn, drone violations were reported from a number of EU countries, including Germany, Belgium and Denmark.
According to the action plan now presented by the European Commission, a voluntary "anti-drone system" is to be created, which is intended to help countries prevent drone threats and respond to them when violations occur.
Furthermore, a center of excellence for counter-drone operations will be opened and the European drone market will be strengthened.
"We have seen that everything can be used as a weapon against us. Drones and anti-drone capabilities are central components in the defense of Europe," says Commissioner Henna Virkkunen in a press release.
