1. The Commission, having consulted the EDA, shall establish and keep up-to-date a single, centralised catalogue of defence products developed by the EDTIB and the Ukrainian DTIB (the catalogue). The Commission shall consult the EDA and take into account its views in drawing up the technical specifications for the catalogue and, where appropriate, procure the corporate IT platform required to establish it. Member States, Ukraine and economic operators shall be invited to populate the catalogue on a voluntary basis.
2. The defence products present in the catalogue shall be manufactured by economic operators respecting the eligibility criteria set out in Article 9(1), (3) and (4) or Article 26(1), (3) and (4). In addition, the catalogue shall indicate whether the economic operator has the ability to decide, without restrictions imposed by non-associated third countries or by non-associated third-country entities, on the definition, adaptation and evolution of the design of the defence product, including the legal authority to substitute or remove components that are subject to restrictions imposed by non-associated third countries or by non-associated third-country entities. The support received under the Programme, the Ukraine Support Instrument or Regulation (EU) 2018/1092 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Regulation (EU) 2021/697 of the European Parliament and of the Council or Regulation (EU) 2023/1525 or (EU) 2023/2418 may also be indicated in the catalogue.
