Article 14 — Product schedules

1. In respect of the approved amounts of assistance to support Ukraine’s defence industrial capacities as referred to in Article 8(2), point (a)(iii), Ukraine shall draw up a schedule for each activity, expenditure or measure related to a defence product or other product for defence purposes for which it intends to request assistance. That schedule shall set out: (a) a description of the defence product or other product for defence purposes; and (b) information on compliance with Article 13. 2. Ukraine shall consult the schedule with the Commission with a view to ensuring compliance with Article 13. Should Ukraine not identify a method of implementation in accordance with Article 13(8) or should the Commission consider that an alternative method of implementation is more economical, efficient or effective, the Commission may propose a method of implementation to Ukraine. When proposing to Ukraine the most appropriate method of implementation, the Commission shall take into consideration the timeliness of delivery of the relevant defence product or other product for defence purposes, activity, expenditure or measure, the prices available, the past experience with that method of implementation and, where warranted, past experience with manufacturers under that method of implementation. In determining whether an alternative method of implementation is more economical or when considering the prices available, the Commission shall take into consideration any co-financing that is to be provided by Member States. 3. By derogation from paragraph 1 of this Article, Ukraine shall not be required to draw up a schedule for implementation in accordance with Article 13(8), first subparagraph, point (e).
