The eligibility criteria should therefore take into account the fact that Member States intend to procure the final defence product, or use the technology, in a coordinated way, while the award criteria should take into account the fact that Member States commit politically or legally, to jointly use, own or maintain the final defence product or technology.
Étant donné que ces critères ne sont pas éliminatoires, les actions proposées qui ne satisfont pas à l'un ou à plusieurs de ces critères ne devraient pas être automatiquement exclues.
