Notes:

Germany regards the departure of equipment from the exporter's territory as the appropriate criterion for recording arms transfers.

Equipment purchased from programs in which Germany is a collaborative partner is declared as procurement from national production. This applies principally to ammunition for the multiple-launch rocket system as part of a multinational co-production program in which Germany participates.

Germany continues to record only transfers of complete equipment, as defined in the seven categories, and not to include transfers of the following items:

(a) Items that have been demilitarized;

(b) Items transferred for destruction or disposal (especially scrapping);

(c) Items serving as museum exhibits.
