EUROPE 1992: Catalyst for Change in Defense Acquisition. Report of the DSMC 1989-1990 Military Research Fellows
Abstract
Europe 1992 is a road map for leading Europe away from her fragmented, divisive, inefficient and protected national markets. Europe 1992 is a plan for new laws and regulations that by 1992 will remove all barriers to the free movement of goods, services, capital and people within participating countries. Europe 1992, when fully implemented, hopes to see the European business community just as competitive in world markets as the United States and Japan, by creating a home market large enough to support capital investments necessary to compete in the industries of the future -- biotechnology, electronics, telecommunications, information technology, etc. Europe 1992 means creating an environment that allows and encourages the leveraging of natural and created advantages inherent in each participating country. Europe 1992 is a symbol for final transformation of the European economy and completion of the internal market envisioned by the Treaty of Rome in 1957 whose ideal and goal of a Common Market have gone largely unrealized. December 31, 1992 is the date set by the European Commission for approving and adopting 279 proposed directive to free the European economy from regulatory constraints. Keywords: Military procurement; International trade; Munitions industry; European defense industry; Competition/cooperation.
