Mission & Goals
The European Network Against Arms Trade (ENAAT) was founded in 1984 at an international conference on arms production and military exports. ENAAT involves groups and individuals who see the arms trade as a threat to peace, security and development. Activities vary from campaigning against the financing of arms exports by governments, banks and pension funds to lobbying for stricter export control rules. ENAAT is not a membership organisation and there is no central secretariat or overall policy. All participants have their own expertise and strategy. ENAAT is committed to transparency about EU lobbying. ENAAT believes that the Transparency Register fails basic transparency standards and does not yet live up to its name. We support ALTER-EU's demand for a mandatory nature of the register, safeguards against underreporting, and publication of the names of interest representatives. we have therefore chosen to provide additional information that we consider necessary
EU Legislative Interests
Since 2016 we are following in particular: - the development of EU funding for military research, development and production such as the European Defence Fund or ASAP - implementation of the EU Common Position on arms exports controls and related reporting - transparency of the defence sector lobbying - other EU policies favouring the arms industry and arms sales in 2026 we will continue monitoring the EU policies related to defence and weapons, from EU funding for the arms industry to the Omnibus for defence and other initiatives favouring arms sales including overseas exports
Communication Activities
Our lobby activities in 2025 have been through contacts with the European Parliament (MEPs, assistants and political advisers). We produced also analysis, papers and letters to present our arguments to EU decision-makers and to the wider public for campaigning purposes against EU militarisation. Our documents are published in our website. Our EU-related papers available here: http://enaat.org/european-union
