The European Defence Agency (EDA) has published their annual report 2009.
The first EDA Annual Report is covering the year 2009. It comes at the right time, five years after the start of the Agency's operational activities
and with the entering into force of the Lisbon Treaty, specifically referring to EDA, at the end of 2009. The EDA has started to produce concrete results to improve European defence capabilities in different areas, from immediate needs such as helicopters' availability and countering improvised explosive devices to increasing collaborative research and step-wise increasing transparency of the European Defence Equipment Market. EDA has around 80 work strands
up and running. Its projects portfolio amounted to € 160 million in 2009, with an annual average of € 125 million so far.
