(b) Armed UAVs (fixed or variable geometry wing) 0 Related policies Policy changes towards specific destinations I. Changes to government policy on general transit licenses NL007 and NL008 vis-à-vis Turkey and Ukraine In October 2019 the Dutch government tightened its arms export policy with regard to Turkey. This policy decision follows on from the conclusions of the Foreign Affairs Council of October 2019 in which EU countries jointly agreed to prevent the use of EU military goods in northeastern Syria. In order to prevent ‘less sensitive’ military goods, of the type covered by the Ministerial Order for General Transit License NL007 and the Ministerial Order for General Transit License NL008, from being exported to Turkey and used in the conflict in northeastern Syria, these ministerial orders will be amended and Turkey will no longer be an allowable country of final destination. In addition, this amendment of the Ministerial Orders for General Transit License NL007 and NL008 seeks to bring monitoring of goods in transit under these general licenses more in line with the monitoring of goods in transit under individual licenses. For some time now, there has also been heightened monitoring of the export and transit of military goods to Ukraine under individual licenses. This monitoring is now being expanded to include the transit of goods under this general license. In addition to Turkey and Ukraine, the following countries are excluded as final destinations for the NL007 license: Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Egypt. These changes to general transit licenses NL007 and NL008 do not alter the fact that for every transit shipment, including those from the above countries, an application can be submitted for an individual transit license, including for ‘less sensitive’ military goods. Standing government policy will also be followed in this regard. The ministerial order setting out these changes was published in the Government Gazette on 27 October 2020 (Dutch: https://zoek.officielebekendmakingen.nl/stcrt-2020-55420.html). II. Stricter arms export policy for Hong Kong On 9 October 2020, in response to - 5 - the adoption of the new national security law in Hong Kong, the Dutch government decided to tighten the Netherlands’ arms export policy. From that date, all license applications for the export of military goods to Hong Kong will be assessed in accordance with the same standards as applications for the rest of the People’s Republic of China. In addition, the EU arms embargo currently in effect for China will now be applied by the Netherlands to exports to Hong Kong. For more information, please read the letter which was sent to the House of Representatives (Dutch only: https://www.rijksoverheid.nl/documenten/kamerstukken/2020/10/09/kamerbrief-aanpassing-wapenexportbeleid-voor-hongkong) by Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation Sigrid Kaag and Minister of Foreign Affairs Stef Blok on 9 October 2020.

  • Completes a Decisive Step Towards Further Integration Amsterdam, 14Th
    KNDS (Amsterdam/The Netherlands) completes a decisive step towards further integration Amsterdam, 14th December 2020 Five years after the merger of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (Munich, Germany) and Nexter Systems (Versailles, France) under the joint holding KNDS, the Group’s governance is being restructured. With this new structure, the owners of the Franco- German manufacturer of military land systems – the French state holding company GIAT Industries and the German family-owned company Wegmann & Co GmbH – are continuing on the path they forged in 2015: advancing in defined milestones towards the creation of a leader in its field. The shareholders have decided to streamline the governance structure by establishing a single board of directors replacing the existing supervisory and management boards. After a first phase where the two subsidiaries got to know each other under the management of two co-CEOS and started building the company, it is time now to enter into the next phase of integration and development. The new structure will enable more efficient and coherent management of the KNDS companies and optimum leveraging of their potential and synergies. The future board of directors of KNDS will comprise ten members. Nine members will be external appointees without any direct operational responsibilities within KNDS. The tenth member will be the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of KNDS. Unanimously, the shareholders have appointed Frank Haun to assume this role. Frank Haun has served as CEO of Krauss-Maffei Wegmann since 2003. He played a crucial role in designing and building KNDS in 2015 and has been instrumental in the success of the company since 2015 as Co-CEO.

  • Press Release
    Press Release METKA and Krauss-Maffei Wegmann Join Forces for export to Middle East. Athens, 26.08.2013: METKA S.A. is pleased to announce a significant industrial co- production agreement with Krauss-Maffei Wegmann GmbH & Co. KG (KMW), Europe’s leading manufacturer of highly protected wheeled and tracked military vehicles. KMW chose METKA to supply defined metal structures of the hull and turret for 62 LEOPARD 2 main battle tanks for the Middle East market. The value of the agreement adds up to 56.5 Million Euro and the relevant Contract is scheduled to be signed shortly. METKA and KMW have been business partners in producing LEOPARD 2HEL tanks for the Greek Army since 2003 when the two companies set the basis of their co-operation that included extensive know how transfer and substantial investments on highly sophisticated machinery in METKA’s two factories in Volos. This new agreement is the result of the successful execution of the Greek program that qualified METKA as one of the very few companies that can perform such demanding fabrication works worldwide and, certainly, sets a milestone in their long-term cooperation, particularly with regard to preservation of jobs and know-how in Greece’s Defence Industry. About METKA METKA is a leading international EPC contractor for specialized large-scale energy projects, undertaking the complete range of Engineering, Procurement and Construction activities through to project completion. It is currently executing projects with more than 5,000MW of power generation capacity in 6 different countries (Turkey, Iraq, Algeria, Jordan, Syria and Greece).

  • Press Release
    KNDS records another successful business year Amsterdam, 14 June 2021 The defence technology group KNDS, in which Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (Germany) and Nexter (France) merged to form the leading European company for military land systems, ammunition and related services, has presented its key figures for fiscal year 2020. In 2020, the group achieved remarkable results in an unprecedented context due to the Covid crisis, thus demonstrating its robust business model, its resilience and its strong economic and financial position. With 3,3 billion euro of order intake, the consolidated order backlog grew to a record 10.6 billion euro. Major orders were the midlife upgrade for the 322 FENNEK vehicles of the Netherlands Army, 24 LEGUAN bridge layers for the German Bundeswehr, 42 JAGUAR, 271 GRIFFON, and 364 SERVAL vehicles related to the SCORPION program, as well as support and services activities for the French army, and CAESAR guns for a new export customer. The group generated 2,4 billion euro of revenue, while its workforce grew to 8,270 employees. “In 2020, we met or exceeded all our commercial targets,” said Frank Haun, CEO of KNDS, in assessing the company’s performance. “In addition, Nexter and KMW are integrating faster and more strongly to become the joint pacesetter for key innovations in the field of military land systems. Against this backdrop, however, we see new challenges. For example, the budgets of our most important customers are being significantly impacted by the consequences of the corona pandemic, partly at the expense of the defence budgets. And within defence budgets, significant increases in spending on air systems are emerging, which in turn are putting pressure on much-needed army projects.” Press contact Guillem Monsonis Dr.

(Otokar) MINE-PROTECTED TRANSPORTS: WHat LIES AHEAD? One of the unanswered questions for most military planners is what will happen after Afghanistan. The Second Gulf War, or to be more precise the “follow-on stabilisation effort”, had led to a new category of vehicle, namely the Mine Resistant Ambush Protected, or Mrap as it became universally known.
