Michael Fallon

holding answer
All export licences to Syria were rigorously assessed on a case by case basis against the Consolidated European Union (EU) and National Arms Export Licensing Criteria, taking into account all relevant factors, including the prevailing circumstances in the recipient country, the nature of the goods, the identity of the end-user and the stated end-use. Export licences are not issued when they would be inconsistent with the Criteria.
