About this report
Regulatory scope and legal basis. EDIP hard-wires “design authority” into eligibility conditions by linking industrial autonomy to the legal and technical ability to control product evolution.
The binding rule is formulated as a requirement that recipients or contractors must have the ability to decide on the definition, adaptation and evolution of design, including the legal authority to substitute or remove components that are subject to restrictions imposed by non-associated third countries or entities, and it is positioned as a condition for the relevant EDIP-supported contexts rather than as a general policy aspiration (Article 10).
Key questions this report answers
- How does EDIP hard-wire 'design authority' into eligibility by requiring recipients to control the definition, adaptation and evolution of design?
- Why does Article 10 require the legal authority to substitute or remove components subject to restrictions imposed by non-associated third countries?
- How does design authority eliminate third-country veto power over the evolution of EDIP-supported products?
- What restructuring must firms undertake to demonstrate design authority and remain eligible for EDIP support?
Who it's for
