The ability of the EDTIB to ensure the availability of defence products in time and in volume is essential to its competitiveness, especially during periods of heightened security tensions. During such periods, the EDTIB might lack the production capacity necessary to meet Member States’ urgent needs and its products might be less visible to Member States than products offered by third countries or third-country entities. This Regulation should therefore provide a European military sales mechanism, including measures to increase the speed to market of defence products from the EDTIB by facilitating procedures for the common procurement of defence products and leveraging the use of contracts awarded by a government to another government.
