European defence
The new EU Defence Directive is designed to open up procurement in the European defence and security marketplace by promoting greater cohesion in award procedures in this sector. This covers all contracts including production, logistics services, food, estates, military equipment and vehicles.
The GO Defence Conference 2011 will provide attendees with valuable information on the European defence landscape as well as discussing the implications of the new Defence Directive.
