The article outlines the current legislative status of the SAFE financial instrument, designed to enhance security in Poland, specifically emphasizing its potential role in funding defense initiatives. As the Polish parliament prepares for a new session, lawmakers will revisit the proposed loans for armament purchases through the SAFE initiative, which is crucial amidst Poland's increasing defense needs.

The article highlights amendments proposed by the Senate, which include a significant change regarding the repayment of loans taken from the EU for purchasing military equipment.

This amendment is essential to clarify the conditions under which Poland can accumulate financial resources through SAFE and address concerns surrounding the conditionality of EU funding.

Furthermore, the article delves into potential challenges posed by VAT regulations that could impact the execution of projects financed through the SAFE loans. It discusses the implications of these loans for the Polish budget, particularly regarding how they may alleviate financial pressures and provide necessary resources for the enhancement of Poland's military capabilities in a rapidly changing security environment.
