EDA: Arms for War and Profit
September 2nd, 2008
By Carol Fox
"One of the many surprises thrown up by the Lisbon Treaty debate was that
the European arms industry had managed to set up shop within the EU. Not
only were we being obliged to spend more on armaments ["Art. 28(3): Member
States shall undertake progressively to improve their military
capabilities"
sector and the arms trade was being brought into an EU Treaty.
How had this happened? Where had this European Defence Agency (EDA) come
from?"
