Amendment 35 Martina Werner, Jens Geier, Constanze Krehl, Eugen Freund, Arne Lietz

Proposal for a regulation –

Proposal for a rejection

The European Parliament rejects the Commission proposal.

Or. en

Justification

There are serious doubts about the legal basis for the Programme. The Commission chose art. 173 TFEU as the single legal basis for the regulation. This neglects that the Programme has two different goals, one being the competitiveness and innovation capacity of the defence industry, the other being the improvement of the "strategic autonomy" of the Union (p. 2 in the Commission proposal). Art. 173 omits the second goal of the programme. As both goals are inextricably linked and none of them could be identified as inferior, the programme would need to have a dual legal basis. This is supported by ECJ ruling C-411/06 which clearly points out that a dual legal basis has to be taken as a starting point when two purposes are equal to each other.

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

Or. en

Justification

The prior aim of the regulation is the development of EU - defence capabilities in the framework of CSDP/CFSP. According to Article 41 (2) TEU any expenditure arising from actions having military or defence implications must not be charged to the Union budget. Therefore the legal reference to Article 173 must not apply.

Or. en

Justification

Until today the European Defence Agency has not been able to increase Member States cooperation on defence research, development and procurement projects, most are still exclusively national. A more efficient cooperation mechanism must be set up to finally address the structural problems of the defence sector. As sufficient national funds are available for the financing of projects (Commission estimates annual savings between 25-100 bn€ of collective national defence spending), no single EURO shall be transferred from EU budget to national defence administration or industries.

Proposal for a regulation Recital 1 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission Amendment

(1a) In order to establish an efficient European defence market, including for this Programme to have real impact, it is of crucial importance that the key regulatory preconditions are fulfilled. In this respect the Directive 2009/81/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council1awas adopted eight years ago with a view to improve the functioning of the defence market and increasing competition. If fully applied, it still could make a significant contribution to achieving the goal of an integrated open and competitive European defence equipment market. However, the evaluations of the Directive identified a number of shortcomings. In particular, despite a more than twofold increase in the value of the contracts published Union-wide, a large share of defence procurement is still done outside EU public procurement rules leaving a significant untapped potential to generate further public savings. Furthermore, public authorities to some extent still use, offsets/industrial return requirements which can lead to uncertainties for the industry. Finally, the subcontracting provisions of the Directive, which enable procurement authorities to require the successful tenderer to subcontract a share of the contract to third parties via competitive tendering, are rarely used. After eight years of inactivity, it is now time for effective implementation of the Directive, including through enforcement by the Commission. ______1a Directive 2009/81/EC of the European
