De afgelopen week kende twee wapenhandel hoogtepunten. De publicatie van het SIPRI rapport over de wereldwijde ontwikkelingen van de militaire uitgaven en de start van de wapenbeurs in Aboe Dhabi. Het een staat niet los van het andere.
IDEX leverde een bedrag van US$ 5 miljard aan wapenorders op (niet gering op een bedrag van US$ 30 miljard per jaar). Jammer dat de Nederlandse pers niet even naar Nederland keek van (11 naar 12). Dat heeft stuivertje gewisseld met Israël (van 12 naar 11). http://armstrade.sipri.org/armstrade/html/export_toplist.php
