European military effectiveness is also curbed by different procurement policies, as those countries that produce military hardware prefer to keep orders at home. This is true of weaponry as well as logistical capabilities, where, despite immense efforts over the years to get more out of the shrinking funds, there is still great potential for integration and standardization.
欧洲军队的效率问题同时也与不同的采购政策有关，因为那些生产的军用设备的国家都喜欢把订单留给本国。武器配置和物流方面都存在着这个问题，尽管近年来在各国都努力用更少的预算做更多的事，但在整合和标准化中还是有巨大的潜力可挖。
