About to make joke about European supply again (2-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

re-equip

'supply again' is the definition.

'about to make joke about european' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding**).
'to make joke' becomes 'quip'.
'about' says to put letters next to each other.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'quip' after 'e' is 'equip'.
're'+'equip'='RE-EQUIP'

(Another definition for re-equip that I've seen is " Provide with new kit".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
