I don't fully understand the concept; but it appears to be widely used in various sources, especially those that describe the ESA and EU funding. It can also be seen in several Wikipedia articles, but appears to never be defined. One good reliable source to illustrate the concept is [27], but I'll add the quotation in hidden text since Aviation Week articles often quickly dissapear behind a paywall. Cheers.
