Arms Exports Control

The database contains information on the value, destination and type of arms export licenses and actual exports from EU Member States, covering the years 2013-2019. The database will be updated on an annual basis.

All data in the annual reports and in the database is provided by Member States. Annual reports are shared publicly through publication in the Official Journal. On 23 October, the Council adopted the Twenty-Second Annual Report on arms exports covering the data for the year 2019.

To improve transparency, the new database offers various graphic representations to all those interested in the value, military equipment and destination of European arms exports.
