Public procurement localisation

On 19 May 2013, the Israeli government signed an extension to the so called 'Defensive Textile Law'. The new version requires all official security forces: army, police, border patrol etc. to buy Israeli made products.
The security forces are only allowed to pick a foreign competitor if the offer is less than half of the price offered by Israeli firms.
