Abstract: France's armaments industry is undergoing significant and aggressive international competition in a sector undergoing profound change. There are international agreements to reduce the dangerous effects of the arms race, with the COCOM list or the "Final Destination Clause". Arms sales are highly dependent on the authorisation of states, and therefore on countries' defence and diplomatic policies. A monopoly can be established on certain weapons thanks to the technological quality of a weapon or component. Within the framework of the European Union, questions relating to cooperation on arms production, or joint grouped purchases, between the Member States have not yet been resolved, in particular because of the strength of NATO and the special interests of firms and states.
