21/10/2020 17:08 | "All commercial ships have self defence weapons on them" That's nonsense. Such as, give an example. Even if they did it would be more in respect of frightening off pirates than an aircraft attack and thus much lower in calibre and complexity. Generally it means one gun in the Captain's cabinet. | ![]() minerve 2 | |

21/10/2020 14:33 | I had high hopes for the prestigious MaritimeUK, but these hopes were soon dashed. Their quick-fire spokesman gave a confident telephone speech about the huge benefit to British shipbuilding if the contract competition was limited to the UK, so I asked, ‘Which exemption would you use?’ Silence. The break in the conversation allowed me to clarify: ‘It’s just that the EU and European Court of Justice are very strict. They say international competition is mandatory under the EU defence directive apart from the most exceptional cases where their narrow exemptions apply. So which one applies here?’ The answer: ‘I don’t know. But I know someone who might know.’ I was then copied into an email to a policy person from yet another organisation. More merry-go-round. This person was senior, well-connected and experienced and, on condition that I would protect his identity, provided a very candid rendition of the landscape, including the fabled explanation of why Westminster and the whole British defence commentariat had come to believe that the EU’s defence contract rules could somehow be bypassed and why everyone believed that the rules were not in themselves an obstacle. It goes like this, and be warned, it does not resemble anything which the EU regards as an adequate excuse: It was not originally his idea, he said, but the feeling was that the UK should ‘try out’ a line with the EU which said that the UK needs to keep its shipyards exercised with an order book which is bigger than complex warships alone. Being able to do that, he said, was a national security issue and the UK could attempt to persuade the EU that this desire for extra work met the conditions of the security exemption. I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. I almost felt pity on hearing such a doomed excuse. The security exemption under Article 346 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU does not allow a definition of national security interests which covers attempts to boost national strategic shipbuilding capacity. According to the EU, the protection of strategic contracts 'contrasts with the operational objective of the Directive, that the majority of contracts in the fields of defence and security should be awarded on the basis of EU procurement rules'. (EU Commission Staff Working Document 2016 on the Evaluation of Directive 2009/81/EC on public procurement in the fields of defence and security). In fact, it was the EU’s desire to quell this precise type of domestic focused approach which led to the EU creating the defence procurement directive with all its new limitations. They aimed to interfere with member states’ links to their national industry in order to encourage the notion that ‘domestic̵ I mentioned some of these points to our well-placed policy person and conceded that trying this approach ‘would be a risk’ which might fail, but the current thinking of industry is that it was ‘worth a try’. Gulp. It is not worth a try; it is completely flawed. The security exemption does not allow the UK to bolster domestic industry by giving it a badge saying ‘strategicR The livelihoods of thousands of shipyard workers have been relying on this fallacy. Their trade union supporters and the whole maritime industry would have done much better to call for an end to EU rules and entry into the World Trade Organisation’s GPA agreement which gives a proper exemption for defence. Canada, for example, has constructed a 20-year shipbuilding programme which keeps all defence, military support and coastguard shipbuilding in Canada. Here are a few excerpts from the EU law which illustrate this complex point. The EU Commission says that the EU defence procurement directive makes it harder, in practice, to resort to Article 346. To dodge the international competition requirement of the EU directive, a member state must be prepared to “demonstrate that the non-application of the Directive is necessary and proportionate” for the protection of its essential security interests. | ![]() stonedyou | |

21/10/2020 12:41 | maxk That article on the support ships is good news if followed. However, both the government and The Telegraph are being disingenuous by inferring EU rules have prevented the support ships from being built domestically. As support ships to UK defence vessels they have ALWAYS had entitlement to being excluded from EU competition law. In fact many EU countries have used this entitlement with their own support vessels at the same time the UK decided not to. You have to ask yourself why? Some of these issues are being sold as EU problems when in fact they never have been. Of course the ignorant masses will lap this up as always. | ![]() minerve 2 | |
