Questions on Arms Export Approvals
Berlin: (hib/HAU) The federal government has been asked to provide information on arms export approvals for Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iraq, and Yemen.
Specifically, the Left Party parliamentary group wants to know how many applications for arms exports to these countries have been approved since the beginning of the current legislative period in October 2021 and how many have been rejected.
The parliamentary group also wants to know for each of the countries mentioned how many arms export applications were approved in the past five years and how many were rejected.
In addition, the government is asked to provide a breakdown of which categories of weapons and military goods have been exported to each country since the beginning of the current legislative period and which categories have been rejected.
The Left Party parliamentary group is concerned that the federal government is approving too many arms exports to countries that are involved in wars and human rights violations. The group believes that the government should take a more restrictive approach to arms exports and only approve those that are clearly in line with German foreign and security policy interests.
The government has not yet responded to the Left Party’s request for information.
