		OCCAR and the LoI are important instruments in that respect, although they have their limitations.
		OCCAR offers a number of major advantages over preceding bodies: it has a legal personality enabling it to place and manage contracts and organise its own procurement policy, as well as to harmonise the procurement policies of the participating states and to coordinate their RandD.
		OCCAR could be the precursor of such an agency, which would have the task of developing a common European procurement based on harmonised requirements, procurement regulations and timetables within the European Union.

	NDM Article - Europe Steps Up Procurement Cooperation
		Many in the U.S. defense industry view OCCAR as the initial seed for a pan-European arms-procurement agency and potentially the template for the next generation of European procurement organizations.
		OCCAR representatives addressing a seminar co-sponsored by NDIA said that this would not necessarily be the case, but U.S. industry representatives have adopted a “wait-and-see” attitude.
		In such instances, OCCAR continues to serve as the agent/manager for the programs, but the end users on the export license are the member nations, not OCCAR.

	The European defence agency − reply to the annual report of the Council (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
		The management of European programmes would be assured by OCCAR, which has both a legal personality and the financial support of its members (through programmes such as the Airbus A400M transport aircraft), while the EA would only play a minor role.
		But when it came to the most important phase − the practical implementation of the programmes defined by means of this process − it would hand over their management to a body outside the EU structures.
		OCCAR has the advantage of three years of proven cooperation behind it, even though its ongoing programmes, with the notable exception of the A400M transport aircraft, are not of major strategic importance

	Nato Review
		OCCAR is an inter-governmental agency, but not one belonging to Europe.
		OCCAR’s job in this instance is to manage the contractor to make sure that aircraft are delivered at the required time and cost.
		While no one would be obliged to turn to OCCAR for such management, OCCAR does this work well and would probably be interested in taking it on.

		This treaty, once ratified, will give OCCAR the scope to develop its own procurement procedures, contract rules and regulations, helping it deliver joint programmes faster, cheaper and better - which is what our Smart Procurement initiative is all about.
		OCCAR thus has the potential to act as a building block towards an eventual European Armaments Agency.

	DFAIT - Non-Proliferation, Arms Control & Disarmament Division - Conclusion
		According to the outgoing head of international cooperation at the Délégation Générale pour l'Armement (DGA), Jean Fournet, the biggest future challenge for the OCCAR is how to ensure work-share benefits for its participating states as the agency is expanding and increasing the range of program responsibilities.
		Instead of applying a program-by-program proportional industrial benefits share, through the global return the OCCAR is set to allocate industrial work across a number of programs and years.
		In a speech in Brussels on March 1 of this year, Javier Solana, the EU's High Representative for CFSP, said that agencies such as OCCAR were instrumental to the construction of the Common European Security and Defence Policy (CESDP).

	WEU Assembly Report 1623E
		It is reasonable to assume that OCCAR will make more actual progress and might, therefore, become the focus for all those countries which are more willing to move towards integration.
		In order to give OCCAR a legal status so that it is entitled to award contracts, the parliaments of member countries are in the process of ratifying the Convention recently signed in Farnborough.
		These days, the main European armaments producers are grouped together in OCCAR and refuse to apply the principle of juste retour, which creates a major point of divergence between them and other European countries which have a less efficient defence industry to protect.
