Code of good conduct on defence markets takes effect on 1 July

Brussels, 30/06/2006 (Agence Europe) - The Code of Conduct on defence procurement is to take effect on 1 July. The Code, to be applied by 22 EU Member States (except for Denmark, Spain and Hungary), aims to liberalise the defence procurement market of the European Union, estimated at around €30 billion annually. This is an “historic” stage in creating a real European defence market, Nick Witney, Director of the European Defence Agency (EDA), explained to the press on 30 June.
