Lars Fresker says that he has confidence that the Armed Forces’ security checks are carried out correctly, but that he understands why a former defense employee in Ukraine feels uncertain about the criteria for re-employment.
– The basic rule applies to re-employment: Merit and skill. All will also be security tested. If you have been in the civilian sector or in Ukraine, there is an uncertainty for the individual, will I pass the security check?
Lars Fresker also points to the need for personnel.
– The armed forces are in a growth phase. Every professional officer who is employed now is needed and we also need to re-employ as many professional officers as possible, he says.
