European Diversification and Defense Market Assessment, 2nd Edition: A Comprehensive Guide for Entry into Overseas Markets.
Abstract
Despite the lingering recession in Western Europe and the East's continuing economic adjustment to market economies, a wide array of commercial opportunities exists for U.S. firms. The region possesses a number of well diversified economies that exhibit growing demand for high technology products in commercial and defense sectors and, thus, provides a wide variety of trade opportunities for U.S. firms. The expansion of the European Union to the EFTA nations and to Central Europe will facilitate entry into numerous markets. The history of strong political, military and economic ties to Western Europe and the deepening of similar relationships with the former Warsaw Pact nations are a solid base for success in both commercial and defense markets. The European Diversification and Defense Market Guide is intended to provide current information to U.S. firms interested in dual-use and/or defense trade opportunities in this established and diversified region. Section 1, Getting Started, provides important information on U.S. Government policies and organizations involved in trade with Europe. This section corresponds with the guidance provided in the Defense Department's Selling to the Allies publication. Section II, Country Profiles, consists of chapters for each country and includes the following sections. Overview, Defense Industry Environment, Defense Opportunities, Defense Procurement Process, Diversification/Commercial Opportunities, Doing Business in, and U.S. Government Points of Contact.
