Ms Lenka Filipkova:

I think the guarantees on how the production of these companies is done and to whom it is done are under a different legal framework. It is not my competence and it is not the competence of the Commission, but there are clear rules before one can export ammunition. I cannot say whether one or another of the German companies sells or provides ammunition to whatever country. There are different rules and different conditions. I am not the right person to say so. It is a national competence and there are clear rules where the ammunition can be sold.

As Mr. Ryan clearly explained, this Act was adopted at the call of the European Council, and all member states called for it, to support European production to make sure that we can defend ourselves in view of the unjustified aggression of Russia against Ukraine.
