Recital 19 a (new)
(19a) One of the obstacles in making the European defence industry more competitive and market driven is that in some cases, Member states or competent authorities choose to obtain new defence products without an appropriate public procurement in order to conceal information about the obtained products, even in cases where there is little or no reason to do so. Consequently, this situation should also be analysed in the framework of the Programme and appropriate measures should be taken in order to make the European defence industry more competitive and market driven with no additional cost to the Programme.
