## Resource

The Dutch government is drafting a bold new law that could force select companies to produce defense gear—or even seize existing stock—during emergencies, with the goal of tightening control over the nation’s defense supply chain. While the minister insists they’ll first try voluntary cooperation, the law’s teeth are there for when persuasion fails. It’s narrowly targeted at businesses already involved in defense—or even everyday suppliers like pharmacies if the situation demands it. The law could also boost credibility for vetted Dutch firms, helping them win international contracts. Expect it to hit the Council of State soon, with implementation possibly by next year.
