18. Warns that European defence companies are increasingly compensating for their reduced turnover in Europe through extra-EU exports; expresses concern at the potential drawbacks of this approach, such as the transfer of sensitive technologies and intellectual property rights to their future competitors and moving production outside the EU, thus compromising Europe’s security of supply; believes that exposing the EU to the risk of the EDTIB being dependent on customers in third powers with different strategic interests constitutes ...[+++]a serious strategic mistake;
