Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Underlines that the European defence industry is characterised by varying national policies, which sometimes result in distortion of competition and could further aggravate the adverse effects on the industry; stresses therefore that the competitiveness and resilience of the defence industry need to be increased by privatisation, European cooperation in research and the removal of subsidies to minimise the adverse effects;
Amendment 26 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 3
Paragraph 3
3. Notes that the absence of a common defence industrial policy has led to a deeper fragmentation of the defence market in terms of demand, regulations, standards and supply; recognises that a common defence industrial policy makes sense economically, but also threatens to undermine the sovereignty of the individual state, which should retain full control over its core defence-related technical capabilities; believes therefore that European defence industrial policy should promote multidimensional cooperation for the benefit of the EU, outlining the main industrial objectives, mapping the comparative advantages and strategic industrial sectors and emphasising the role of the EDA and NATO bodies in supporting cooperation among Member States;
