Directive on intra-EU-transfers of defence-related products (officially: Directive 2009/43/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of the European Union of 6 May 2009 simplifying terms and conditions of transfers of defence-related products within the Community) is a European Union Directive with relevance for the European Economic Area (EEA). It is also known as the "ICT-Directive". The Directive entered into force at the end of June in 2009. The deadline for transposition in the Member States was 30 June 2011. The national laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive shall apply from 30 June 2012 (Article 18). There is also an amending act, the Directive 2010/80/EU. With this act the Annex to Directive 2009/43/EC was amended.〔see Directive 2010/80/EU http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/defence/files/directive_2010_80_eu_-_en.pdf〕 The Directive 2009/43/EC defines a "European licence system" for the transfer of defence-related-products within the European Union. Defence-related products mean any products listed in the Annex of the Directive.〔see Annex of the Directive 2009/43/EC http://eurlex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:146:0001:0036:EN:PDF〕 All these products correspond to those listed in the Common Military List of the European Union.〔see Common Military List of the European Union http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:C:2011:086:0001:0036:EN:PDF〕 The main objective of the Directive 2009/43/EC is to build an internal market for defence-related products.〔http://www.europarl.europa.eu/sides/getDoc.do?pubRef=-//EP//TEXT+IM-PRESS+20081216IPR44603+0+DOC+XML+V0//EN - European Parliament〕 ==Background and objectives== The member states of the European Union each have their own licencing system concerning the export of defence-related products. There are differences in terms of procedures, scope and duration.〔http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/internal_market/businesses/intellectual_property/l33288_en.htm - Europa〕 These disparities can destroy the competitiveness of European defence industry and can create barriers that hamper exports of defence-related products in the internal market.〔see Commission 2007, 765 p 1 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2007:0765:FIN:EN:PDF〕 According to Article 1 of the Directive "the aim of the directive is to simplify the rules and procedures applicable to the intra-EU-transfer of defence-related products in order to ensure the proper functioning of the internal market"〔see Article 1 of the Directive 2009/43/EC http://eurlex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=OJ:L:2009:146:0001:0036:EN:PDF〕 Furthermore the conditions for SMEs’ participation in armament development and production shall be improved. In addition with respect to this Directive, the Commission intends to increase the industrial cooperation of defence-related products to generate economies of scale 〔see Commission 2007 765, p 4 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/LexUriServ/LexUriServ.do?uri=COM:2007:0765:FIN:EN:PDF〕 Overall, the Directive aims to facilitate the intra-EU-transfer of defence-related products and to improve the competitiveness of the European defence industry on an international level.〔http://europa.eu/legislation_summaries/internal_market/businesses/intellectual_property/l33288_en.htm - Europa〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Directive on intra-EU-transfers of defence-related products (ICT)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
