Level playing field for European defence industries: The role of ownership and public aid practices

This study was financed by the European Defence Agency under a contract with Isdefe (Spain) and Fraunhofer INT (Germany). It does not necessarily reflect the views of the European Defence Agency. The main objective of the study is to analyse the impact of ownership and public aid policies and practices of EDA participating Member States on a level playing field for European defence industries. According to the study, more competition and efficiency could be achieved through less national thinking and more fair and equal treatment of potential suppliers regardless of their origin.
