Towards which kind of "Common Market" in the armament field? (on the voluntary code of conduct on the public markets of equipment of defense)
Newsletter of the Center for Security and National Defence Studies, October 2006, Budapest
Language of the original publication: Hungarian
The so-called code of conduct, which came into effect on July 1, 2006 with the participation of 22 Member States of the Union and is supposed to encourage the “Europeanization” of defence procurement, is only the beginning. It marks the entry in scene, in implacably concrete terms, of the fundamental political questions (differed since more than a half-century) of the European construction. As a beginning, it is by nature imperfect and ambiguous. But at the same time, it reflects perfectly the possibilities and the limits of the political will that is at its origin.
English text coming soon.
