Billions In Defence Procurement Under Scrutiny Amid Transparency Fears
Luxembourg’s defence procurement procedures have come under scrutiny, with three quarters of 187 specialist procedures since 2022 not being advertised in advance. The aggregate value of these procedures was €2.7 billion, with financial control and parliamentary scrutiny applying, but transparency concerns remaining. The government has stated that financial control continues to apply, and no defence minister has invoked article 59 to proceed after a controller maintained a refusal. This was first reported by Delano News.
