SDA Roundtable, Brussels
The European Commission’s proposal to lift the defence sector’s exemption in EU competition law is proving controversial. As unemployment continues to soar in Europe and economic recovery wavers in the US, should the defence sector be given special treatment? Should open competition rules be applied to such a specific sector, or should it instead benefit from a measure of protection? How is global competition likely to affect industrial actors in defence? Should export policies be re-thought, and is it time for the private sector in Europe to bit the bullet of industrial consolidation?
Speakers include:
Claude-France Arnould, Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency (EDA)
Daniel Calleja Crespo, Director General for Enterprise and Industry, European Commission
Jonathan Faull, Director General for Internal Market and Services, European Commission
