A report being prepared by leading European aerospace industry executives and senior EU officials will advocate an unified European procurement policy including harmonisation of members' military requirements, procurement budgets and defence research. The 'Strategic Aerospace Review for the 21st Century' (STAR 21) must be ready in mid-July. According to a near-final draft obtained by Jane's Defence Weekly EU member states must "face the fact that additional resources will be required to meet the demands of the ESDP (European Security and Defence Policy)." The European aerospace industry accounted for 429,000 jobs and a consolidated turnover of 2.3 billion euros in 2000.
