Notes: Sale of surplus defence equipment occasionally takes place via a private firm on behalf of an end user already known at the time of sale, or to a private firm for own use or for resale by that firm to an as yet unknown end user or users. See also footnote 3. Sale to private buyers takes place only to firms domiciled in the Netherlands or in countries with an effective arms export policy (NATO and EU member states, and Australia, Japan, New Zealand and Switzerland). If these firms are domiciled elsewhere and if they should wish to reexport the goods concerned, they must apply in advance for permission from the Netherlands State Property Department (Dienst der Domeinen). Furthermore they will be required to apply for an export licence in their country of domicile. The amounts reported are based on the value of the contracts as signed. Not all deliveries of the goods actually took place in same year. This relates to a donation by the Ministry of Agriculture, Nature Management & Fisheries to the rangers of Wetlands International Nature Park. The national insignia were removed from the uniforms prior to delivery. Surplus defence equipment is occasionally sold to the original manufacturer. Occasionally sale of surplus defence equipment may also take place through a private firm on behalf of an end-user known and agreed at the sale or to a private firm for own use. A further alternative possibility is sale to a private firm in another EU/NATO+ country where the precise final destination and end-user of the equipment are as yet unknown. In that case an International Import Certificate serves to confirm that (re-)export if any will be subject to control by the relevant EU/NATO+ country.  Abbreviations AFNORTH: Allied Forces Northern Europe C & V: command and reconnaissance IFF: Indendtification Friend or Foe MoD: Ministry of Defence MPA: Maritiem Patrol Aircraft NAMSA: NATO Maintenance and Supply Agency NLSE: NATO Logistic Stock Exchange OEM: Original Equipment Manufacturer PGU: Personnel equipment/outfit SDLE: Star Defence Logistic & Engineering Spain TOW: Tube-launched, Optically tracked, Wire data link auto-guided missile WM25: Thales fire control system YPR: Type of Armored Infantry Fighting Vehicle
