This Regulation should not prevent the application by Member States of measures necessary to safeguard essential security or defence policy interests. Moreover, it does not affect the power of Member States to adopt provisions in relation to the organisation of their armed forces. That power may lead Member States to adopt measures to ensure that their armed forces have sufficient airspace for adequate education and training purposes. Provision should therefore be made for a safeguard clause to enable that power to be exercised.
