"The European Union was envisaged as a project of peace but now the arms industry is pushing for public funds to be diverted to subsidise weapons development. We have a chance to stop it.

60,000 people across Europe have already signed a petition against these proposals. Please increase the pressure by emailing your MEP directly today."

See: No EU money for arms (CAAT, link)

And see a detailed briefing by the European Network Against the Arms Trade: Why the EU should not subsidy military research (link to pdf).

Our work is only possible with your support.
