	Internal Market - Public Procurement - Defence Procurement
		It is one of the seven initiatives 1 announced in the Communication "Towards a European Union defence equipment policy", adopted by the European Commission on 11th March 2003 (COM (2003) 113 final).
		The purpose of these initiatives is to reinforce the industrial and technological base of European defence and to improve the quality of public expenditure on defence equipment.
		Consequently, the majority of defence contracts are awarded according to strictly national rules, which differ from one Member State to another and are very diverse, in particular as far as publication and the openness of competition are concerned.

	European defence procurement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Modern European defence procurement is making a move from a traditional, postwar, United States/NATO-sponsored effort towards a more independent and competitive capability.
		Likewise European governments were actively dissuaded by the US Department of Defense from continuing the A400M project, the Pentagon argued that the Lockheed C-130J and Boeing C-17 provided all the capability European governments need.
		A problem for the European Defence Cooperation however, is that France - which has a large defence industry - sometimes chooses own projects instead of participating in European ones.

		This European Defence Staff would provide France with the power to command a multinational land army of between 60,000 and 80,000 men who would "be the first to enter the theatre of an operation".

		One of the components of the common security and defence policy is the coordination of European defence procurement policy.
		France was one of the countries to focus on capabilities with the aim of consolidating the respective defence expenditure of the Member States and improving the synergy of their national and international projects.
		France is one of the countries that is the most committed to the European cooperation programmes, including the Tigre and NH 90 helicopters, the Cobra radar, the future surface-to-air missile system family (FSAF) and the A 400 M transport aircraft.

		In parallel, preliminary work will begin towards a possible Directive that would coordinate procedures for defence procurement in cases where the derogation under Article 296 EC is not applicable or a Member State chooses not to take advantage of it.
		It will recall the principles governing the use of the derogation in the light of European Court of Justice case law, and will clarify the criteria on the basis of which Member States have to prove when the conditions for the application of the derogation are met.
		However, this Communication is unlikely to be sufficient to resolve the inadequacy of the existing public procurement Directive with regard to the specific features of defence procurement.

		Among the European allies, Germany and Italy are involved in the co-development of the MEADS system, from which France withdrew in 1995 due to budgetary concerns.
		The development of a European Security and Defence Identity within NATO has been ongoing since the 1996 Berlin Summit, but this effort has been given new momentum in the past year by the efforts of the European Union to develop its own Common Foreign and Security Policy.
		At its Helsinki summit in December 1999, the European Council underlined "its determination to develop an autonomous capacity [in the framework of its Common European Policy on Security and Defence] to take decisions and, where NATO as a whole is not engaged, to launch and conduct EU-led military operations in response to international crises".

	Missile Defence: European Approaches and Interests
		European defence and aerospace companies would be well advised to fight for their share in the eventual deal not just by seeking a transatlantic foothold in the US defence market but also by engaging Russian capacities now, presumably against massive US resistance.
		European countries may want to actively help shape the ongoing process of strategic change of which missile defence is just one element, and support the emergence of increased stability and cooperation.
		As Europeans pledge to upgrade their own defence capabilities within NATO and also on their own in ESDP to be better able to share the burdens of maintaining international peace and security, it is more likely than not that European forces will be fighting such wars, too.

	FT.com / World / UK - Tory shift seen in swipe at EU defence moves
		The development of a common European Union defence procurement policy is "fundamentally wrong-headed" and would be boycotted by a Conservative government, the shadow defence secretary has warned.
		He argued that the "continuous attempt to further integrate national defence policies" by supporters of closer EU integration reflected the "ever increasing disconnect between the federalist aspirations of the EU's self-styled political elite and the people of the EU".
		The shadow defence secretary said he was "hugely cautious" of the European Defence Agency, which aims to help sustain the European security and defence policy by co-ordinating defence procurement and research and development.

		European states, singly or collectively, are still more likely than not to fight alongside the United States, and 'allied' forces should be sufficiently compatible and interoperable to fight safely and effectively together.
		Europeans cannot ignore this, nor fail to recognize that American military requirements are one of the more sensible ways of judging their own armed forces' long-term needs.
		Defence Under-Secretary Paul Kaminsky's attempt in 1996 to rekindle transatlantic defence cooperation is to be commended.
