(13) As the Programme aims at 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. 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 they are located in provides sufficient assurances, in accordance with effective national procedures or contractual arrangements, that this would not contravene the Union and Member States’ security and defence interests as established in the framework of Common Foreign and Security Policy in accordance with Title V of the TEU. 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, unless such infrastructure is not available in the European Union and its use does not undermine Union’s security.
