Germany's unpredictable arms export policies and long wait times for export...
BERLIN - Germany’s unpredictable arms export policies and long wait times for export licenses threaten the future of big Franco-German projects to develop new tanks, combat jets and drones, France’s ambassador to Germany said in an essay published late Monday.
It was unacceptable that Germany could veto exports of weapons systems by other countries simply because they contained minor components that were built in Germany, she said. Descotes said exports were needed to add sales volume and lower arms prices, otherwise European countries would have to boost military spending to as much as 4 percent of economic output to ensure adequate defences.
Germany’s Saudi arms freeze has put a question mark over billions of euros of military orders, including a 10 billion pound deal to sell 48 Eurofighter Typhoon jets to Riyadh that would be led by Britain’s BAE Systems. German firms build about a third of the plane’s components.
