".
Mr President, each year, around EUR 180 billion are spent on defence within the borders of the European Union's common market. Almost half of this amount is not subject to the public procurement legislation currently in force. We need to analyse this situation, which has resulted from the application of Article 296 of the Treaty in relation to public procurement in the field of defence. The Communication has partly clarified the issue.
In view of the specific nature of the arms manufacturing industry and the need to integrate it into the defence policies of specific Member States of the European Union and NATO, we need to ensure the technical compatibility of the equipment and communication systems, as well as the proper compatibility of equipment and appliances. We need greater cooperation between individual countries, a properly functioning defence industry and well organised supplies.
The objective of our activities should be to draw up a directive on public procurement in the defence sector. A stable arms market and stability with respect to the procurement procedures used will have a positive effect on the sector, in terms of employment and efficiency."@en1
