Europe’s defense industry will not be able to make progress without a well-functioning market – open, transparent, and with equal opportunities for all European suppliers. Advances in the defense industry lead to significant positive externalities, such as civil-military synergies and investment in research and development, which is fundamental to growth, innovation, and future competitiveness.
没有运转良好的市场——公开、透明、让所有欧洲供应商获得平等机会——欧洲的防务行业就不可能取得进步。防务行业的进步能带来巨大的正外部性，包括民用-军用协同效应和研发投资，而这些正是增长、创新和未来竞争力的基础。
