European groups supporting GDAMS

13th April 2015

European peace groups have issued a statement supporting the Global Day of Action on Military Spending (GDAMS):

In June 2015 European governments will meet to review the security and defence prioritiesĀ that they have set for the EU. These include:

  • Air-to-air refuelling to support air strikes
  • Development of armed drones by the EU Defence Agency
  • Economic support for the arms trade
  • Militaristic and confrontational approaches to maritime and cyber security

A safer world can be built by replacing priorities that involve military spending with
funding for strategies that build peace and meet social and environmental need.

Read the full statement.
