Entente frugale
Entente frugale is the cooperation between the British and French governments, particularly in military procurement, which is driven by cost constraints, which was announced in November 2010 as part of the Lancaster House Treaties.
The name is a wry reference to the Entente Cordiale of 1904.
Together, France and the UK account for half of all military spending in the EU, and two thirds of research and development.
