Mr. Brian Honan:

The concern would be if we are a member company that might be developing a product and that has opted for investment that has come from outside the EU. We are still looking for clarification as to whether that would rule those organisations out of bidding for particular work. I understand the motivation behind it. From a national security point of view, you may want to ensure that EU entities are providing services, and you are not at risk of outside state interference.
