**What it does not test.** Does not confirm the IPO has completed or that non-European investors have bought into KNDS.

**How this item counts.** No movement: no answer to who owns, who operates, whose law governs or who made the parts changes. Weight 0\. Germany buys into already-EU-owned KNDS to match France; funds cleared, no line crossed. [European Sovereignty Index](https://sovereigntymonitor.eu/sovereignty-index/)
