Ce zice EDA:

The system works as follows: surplus ‘Leopard’ platforms available in certain Member States (the ‘providers’) are leased/rented them for a defined period of time to one or several other interested Member States (the ‘receivers’).

At the end of the transfer period, the MBTs can either be returned to the providers (for further use or subsequent sale to third parties) or be sold to the receivers. The Pooling & Sharing of training, exercises and maintenance between providers and receivers, using already existing facilities complete the concept. This approach requires European industrial partners to be involved in support of its implementation.

Win-win situation

The benefits for all parties involved in this project are clear. For the ‘providers’, the lease/rent and/or sale of excess MBTs not only generates revenue but also helps to substantially cut down maintenance costs for spare assets and equipment. The ‘receivers’, on the other hand, get easy and rapid access to additional and modern tank capabilities, including the support and expertise (maintenance, training, industrial contacts, etc.). Finally, the ’upgraders’ benefit from considerable economies of scale resulting, compared to the costs of individual, national MBT upgrade programmes. Furthermore, MBT capability can be obtained faster through this scheme than through normal acquisition processes.

Pare sa fie vorba de un fel de leasing dar in fine… Ce ar putea sa mearga prost intr-o situatie win-win?
