of Defence, Defence Procurement Policy Manual, paragraph 27, p. 1.2–5,
According to Mr Sheridan paragraph 27 lists the things which are carved out
under article 22.2 of the Australia–United States Free Trade Agreement, which
refers to essential security. Committee Hansard, 21 July 2014, p. 2. There
is a list of some 25 categories of the procurement of goods which utilise that
carve-out. Article 22.2—Essential Security—stipulates that nothing in the
Agreement shall be construed:
•
to require a Party to furnish or allow access to any information
the disclosure of which it determines to be contrary to its essential security
interests; or
•
to preclude a Party from applying measures that it considers
necessary for the fulfilment of its obligations with respect to the maintenance
or restoration of international peace or security, or the protection of its own
essential security interests.
