13-09-2016 - Amsterdam, Barcelona, Brussels, Helsinki, London, Lyon, Prague, Rome, Stockholm
In an appeal to Members of the European Parliament and of EU member states’ parliaments, peace campaigners and the European Network Against Arms Trade 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.
