Re: Anybody seen Barmier ???
Don't believe in "I heard"'s and rumours please.
First remember the recent pledge to change procurement from Ben Wallace the Defence Secretary:
"The Integrated Review is understood to be considering changes to EU-derived rules that prevent the UK from prioritising domestic firms as part of a push to boost the UK shipbuilding industry at the end of the post-Brexit transition
period."
That's from the MOD thread.
So they are planning a change to that.
And second there's this which seems to have got little coverage in the media:
"Britain has formally notified the European Union of its intention to withdraw from the bloc’s military missions by the end of this year, EU officials told envoys on Wednesday"

I can't see the government purposely following EU rules here when they are so vocal about not having to follow EU rules post-Brexit, can you?
This is another area where the voting public wouldn't let them without extracting a big price in the way of votes.
