Does the interpretative communication deal with the transatlantic defence market?
No. The interpretative communication aims at better compliance with EU law and greater openness of defence markets between EU member states. It does not deal with arms trade with third countries, which remains governed by World Trade Organisation rules and the Government Procurement Agreement in particular.
