**What it does not test.** This does not establish which suppliers or companies will receive the procurement contracts the loan will eventually fund.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. EU loan signed; suppliers/tech unspecified, so no own/operate/law/parts change yet. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
