Nederlands
grootste wapenproducent doet zelf onderzoek naar de export
en bouw van zijn ofshore patrol vessels (OPV). Het zijn schepen
die van ligt tot middelzwaar bewapend zijn. Schepen die geleverd
worden aan landen die bij wijze van spreken door een ringentje te
halen zijn en aan landen waar wel wat aan schort als het gaat om
mensenrechten, interne of regionale veiligheid en militaire
bestedingen ten opzichte van sociale uitgaven.
Van 26 tot
28 september vindt de OPV
beurs in Rotterdam plaats om de schepen nog meer in het zonnetje
te zetten.
