The bill establishes a legal framework so that Estonian entrepreneurs can start manufacturing, maintaining, importing and exporting military weapons, ammunition, munitions and combat vehicles. Current legislation does not allow this. The explanatory letter states that the Estonian defense industry is taking strong steps to become a serious partner on a global scale for the various security forces of the countries as well as other defense industry companies. Estonia defense industry companies are ready to produce a number of defense products and stands out as a developer and manufacturer of so-called smart solutions. At the same time, from the point of view of Estonia's military defense, it is of critical importance that the companies located in Estonia have the capacity to manufacture the military weapons, ammunition and munitions necessary for defense, as well as for the maintenance of military weapons. However, the legal space of Estonia does not currently allow this, or allows it to a large extent with restrictions. The emergence of the opportunity for companies located in Estonia to handle military weapons and munitions allows, on the one hand, the Defense Forces to manage their armament more sustainably, and on the other hand, defense industry companies to expand their activities and offer their products outside of Estonia as well. Thus, it is a bill that will boost the Estonian economy and is also necessary from the point of view of security, including national defense.
