Peace groups denounce new EC initiatives favouring the arms industry and triggering global arms race

The military-industrial complex 'en marche' at EU level
 
07-06-2017 – Brussels/ Barcelona
 
eu-1232430 1280Today the EC released new plans that favour the arms industry and blur the limits of its mandate regarding defence-related issues, paving the way for an over-influential European-level military-industrial complex.

Peace campaigners and the European Network Against Arms Trade warn against this further EC attempt to trivialize the production of weapons and enlarge insidiously its field of competences to defence. “These proposals will not lead to peace and security, but will only increase the profits of the arms industry and exacerbate the global arms race”, warns Wendela de Vries from Stop Wapenhandel.

Campanya VeniuJaEl Centro Delàs de Estudios por la Paz se ha adherido a la Campaña #VeniuJa.

Pese a las campañas, movilizaciones y del apoyo de una gran parte de la ciudadanía, el Gobierno español no está cumpliendo sus compromisos y en mayo de 2017 sólo ha acogido a un 7,5% de los refugiados.

Ante esta situación, el objetivo de la Campaña es exigir que España cumpla su compromiso de acoger a 17.387 refugiados.

Con ello, exige también que se respete el Derecho Internacional, los Derechos Humanos y los compromisos asumidos. Una manera de exigir es mediante un contador de tiempo con cuenta atrás con los días, horas, minutos y segundos que quedan hasta la fecha final del 26 de septiembre.

Todas las entidades, organizaciones y plataformas que se suman a la iniciativa, comparten el contador de tiempo como un elemento común, y están de acuerdo en exigir que se cumpla el compromiso de acogida del Gobierno Español.

Peace groups take action to prevent EU public money for military research

Written by Centre Delàs on . Posted in Notícies

European Parliament Strasbourg Hemicycle - DiliffIn an appeal to Members of the European Parliament and of EU member states' parliaments, peace campaigners and the European Network Against Arms Trade, from which the Centre Delàs d'Estudis per la Pau is an active member, are calling to say 'no' to the inclusion of arms industry research into the EU budget. The parliamentarians are asked to reject the Preparatory Action (PA) on Defence research which the European Commission wants to include in the new budget line, to be discussed from next week. “Europe should support peace not subsidize weapons” according to the campaigners.

After several years of persistent and discreet work, in particular from arms industry lobby groups such as ASD, and with the support of some Member States and MEPs, the EU is only a few steps away from starting to subsidize research for arms production using European public money. A Preparatory Action (PA) on Defence research written by an advisory 'Group of Personalities', more than half of them industry representatives, is included in the 2017 draft Budget. The arms industry is advising the EU to subsidize the arms industry. The Commission already has accepted this PA and the decision is now in the hands of the European Parliament and the Member States.
