National reports on arms exports - Developments in 2013

Since the early 1990s an increasing number of governments have published national reports on arms exports.  As of January 2014, 35 states had published at least one national report on arms exports since 1990, including 32 that had done so in the past five years (2009–13), and 23 had published a continuous series of annual reports from the first year of their reporting. Austria has discontinued its national report since 2010. During 2013 no state produced a national report on arms exports that had not done so previously.
