Total arms exports (value of licences issued)

The pie chart presents the total arms exports licensed by Member States in 2013 as a whole divided by destination, within and outside the EU. In 2013 the overall value of arms exports licensed was €36 712 million. Of this, €10 735 million (29.2%) are to other Member States, while €25 977 million (70.8%) to outside the EU. The first bar chart shows the destination, by region, of arms exports licensed. Of the €25 977 million exported outside the EU, the first two regions (Middle East and North America) accounted for half of the total (49.6%). In the graph the non-categorised value (€237 million) has not been presented. Totals do not add up exactly due to rounding. The second bar chart presents the top 10 destination countries. Together these 10 countries represent 67% of the total EU arms exports licences. One third of the EU Member States’ licensed exports go to the USA and Saudi Arabia.
