After the record year of 2019, a downward trend in permits for German arms exports became apparent again in 2020. In a particularly conflict-ridden region of the world, weapons and other military goods may continue to be delivered on a larger scale.
After the record year of 2019, a downward trend in permits for German arms exports became apparent again in 2020. In a particularly conflict-ridden region of the world, weapons and other military goods may continue to be delivered on a larger scale.
Arms exports worth more than one billion euros to countries involved in the conflicts in Yemen or Libya have been approved. For Egypt alone, exports of arms and military equipment worth 752 million euros were allowed until December 17.
This emerges from a response from the Federal Ministry of Economics to a request from the Bundestag member Omid Nouripour. Larger amounts are also allowed to Qatar (305.1 million euros), the United Arab Emirates (UAE, 51.3 million euros), Kuwait (23.4 million euros)
and Turkey (22.9 million euros) Armaments are delivered. All of the countries mentioned play a role in at least one of the two longstanding conflicts.
