Report: Germany flouted arms-exports rules for 30 years
By EUobserver
Germany has for the past 30 years violated arm exports rules, according to a study by the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (Prif). "Germany licenses and exports weapons of war and armaments to countries affected by war and crisis, to countries with human rights violations and to regions of tension," said Prif. The study says Germany systematically breached EU criteria when it comes to arms exports.
