regional coordination, EU members practiced individual, and largelysecretive, ways of managing their arms exports. When it came to lightthat some member-states had been complicit in arming both sides duringthe Iran-Iraq war there was a public outcry: EU's house needed putting inorder.

politically binding agreement aimed to set 'high common standards' for EUmember-states exporting arms and set out eight criteria that must beconsidered before an arms transfer is approved.
