(Acts adopted pursuant to Title V of the Treaty on European Union)

Council Declaration of 13 June 2000, issued on the occasion of the adoption of the common list
of military equipment covered by the European Union code of conduct on arms export

(2000/C 191/01)

1. The Council underlines the importance of reinforcing controls of arms exports in order to contribute
to the combat against the illicit trafficking of arms, to a better respect of human rights and to a
greater degree of international security and stability.

2. To this end, and in accordance with operative provision No 5 of the code of conduct on arms
exports, the Council has adopted the following common list of military equipment, thus representing
a significant positive development in the operation of the code of conduct and in the process of
Member States’ convergence in the field of conventional arms exports.

3. Like the code of conduct, the common list of military equipment has the status of a political
commitment in the framework of CFSP. In this sense, all Member States hereby make a political
commitment to ensure that their national legislation enables them to control the export of all the
goods on the list. It is therefore envisaged that the common list of military equipment will act as
reference point for Member States’ national military lists, rather than directly replacing them.

4. Noting that the common list of military equipment has an evolutionary character, Member States will

continue updating it on a regular basis.

5. The Council also considers that the export of certain non-military goods should be controlled for
human rights reasons. The Council welcomes the progress made in the relevant Council bodies in
drafting a working list of such items, covering in particular equipment for paramilitary, public order
and internal security purposes. The Council notes the Commission’s intention to bring forward a
proposal based on that list as soon as possible. The Council looks forward to the finalisation of the list
at an early date.
