Contractul dintre MAI și Sig Sauer, de peste 810 de milioane de euro, greu de semnat. Termenul pentru achiziția individuală a trecut

The procurement of individual weapons for Romania's defense forces, funded by SAFE, is uncertain as the contract with Sig Sauer was not signed by the deadline. A potential solution involves a joint procurement agreement with other EU states, extending the signing deadline to 2027. The Ministry of Economy confirmed ongoing negotiations for cooperation with Sig Sauer, while the Ministry of Internal Affairs aims to finalize the contract quickly. The procurement process faced challenges, including a contestation from Beretta, and conditions for a successful joint purchase include finding a European partner and ensuring a significant portion of production occurs in Romania.
