aircraft, strengthening of Danish Defence Intelligence Service counter terrorism efforts and growing expenses related to compensation payments to veterans affected by PTSD. The Parties note that the budget analyses do not in their own right provide a foundation for implementation. The Minister of Defence and the Chief of Defence will decide on and direct the activities and further organisation of Defence. Subsequently, concrete implementation plans will be presented. Deviations are to be expected compared to the specific budget analyses within the framework of the principles set out in the section relating to defence establishments. The Parties note that the implementation of the budget analyses measures will lead to a wider restructuring and resource optimisation of the Ministry of Defence organisation and affect processes and work flows, including also the relocation of jobs, and some tasks will have to be run differently drawing on fewer resources than today. The Parties note that the Army's regiments are preserved as solid institutions that carry strong identification into the new organisation of the Armed Forces. The Armed Forces esprit de corps is essential and something that will be protected just as the Armed Forces’ strong culture and traditions must be carried on. The overall financial framework including revenues from the budget analyses and the substantial increase in expenditure are set out in Appendix 1. The budget analyses also propose to initiate capacity analyses of rescue and troop transport helicopters (EH101) and armoured infantry (infantry fighting vehicle CV90) should be undertaken with a view to uncover potential cost optimisation related to these capacities. If such perspectives are not identified to be sufficient, it should be examined whether the capacity tasks and solutions either fully or in part can be secured in another way. The Parties agree to initiate further analyses of these capabilities. The Parties also agree that further efficiency measures are carried out under the area of responsibility of the Ministry of Defence in the agreement period. An assessment will be made by 2019 on further analyses of efficiency options and related specific targets to be met. The new efficiency plans can be implemented from 2021, as the revenue from these measures as a starting point will be used for bolstering initiatives within under the area of responsibility of the Ministry of Defence. Personnel The Armed Forces will contribute to raising employees' competence levels through on-going education and competence development. This helps to ensure that the Defence remains a meaningful and attractive workplace. The education of personnel in Defence ensures that military personnel can solve their operational tasks. The vast variety of tasks within the Armed Forces require high quality employee skills sets that in turn require a high degree of educational focus on both the military skills and the overall competence level of the employees. Part time apprentices The possibilities for initiating cooperation with relevant stakeholders regarding the use of part time apprentices will be looked into. The aim is to create apprenticeships in selected work fields and enhance such cooperation to the local business community. The concrete model should ensure that apprentices are given a permanent relationship to the Armed Forces. Opportunities for vocational education
