In Spite of Need for Better Defense, Ministry Keeps Selling Military Equipment
Rob de Wijk, Director of The
Hague Center for Strategic Studies, says that the Ministry of Defense is still
selling military equipment in substantial amounts while it is clear that more
money has to be spent on defense. Some
of the equipment sold is brand new. In
next year’s budget, income from selling such equipment is estimated at 117
million Euros. This policy was criticized by Christian Democrat parliamentarian
Knops.
