CDU demands access to confidential report on cancelled F126 frigate deal with Damen

German opposition CDU and MP Andreas Mattfeldt are pressing for access to a confidential evaluation of delays in the F126 frigate program, amid a billion-euro legal claim by Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding against the German state. The demand escalates political scrutiny of the cancelled contract, but the report's contents and the legal outcome remain uncertain. This matters as it could affect German naval procurement credibility and the financial exposure of the defense budget.
