What happened

The construction of a plant to produce solid fuel for Ukrainian missiles in Denmark under a Fire Point project has been postponed until the end of 2027, while the cost of the project has tripled, Euractiv reported.

Why it matters

According to the portal, the project was initially estimated at 50 million euros, but the cost has now risen to 150 million euros.

Common ground

Euractiv noted that Danish authorities had "cleared more than 20 bureaucratic hurdles for the construction of the plant," but this did not help.

Perspective signals
