(13) As the Programme aims at the progressive framing of a common defence policy and enhancing the competitiveness of the Union's defence industry, only entities established in the Union and effectively controlled by Member States or their nationals should be eligible for support. Additionally, in order to ensure the protection of essential security interests of the Union and its Member States, the infrastructure, facilities, assets and resources used by the beneficiaries and subcontractors in actions funded under the Programme, shall not be located on the territory of non-Member States. However, for particular cases where undertakings located in the EU are controlled by non- EU States or by non-EU entities, such undertakings can be eligible if the Member State in which they are located provides sufficient assurances that this would not contravene the security and defence interests of the Union and its Member States as established in the framework of the Common Foreign and Security Policy in accordance with Title V of the TEU, including in terms of strengthening the European Defence Technological and Industrial Base (EDTIB).
