1989年,法国的军火出口锐减了50％,1990年的景状也同样不容乐观。1990年上半年,法国军火商未能与外国达成哪怕一项大批量出口的协议,这是11月上旬国会的国防委员会宣布的。提交该委员会的一个官方报告宣称,1989年军火出口订贷降到200亿法国法郎,折合为40亿美元,比1988年降低了47％,这种剧减涉及到各类军事设备的出口销售。 In 1989, France’s arms exports dropped by 50%, and the situation in 1990 is equally not optimistic. In the first half of 1990, French arms dealers failed to reach even a foreign country with a large-scale export agreement, which was announced by the National Defense Commission of Congress in early November. An official report submitted to the commission claimed that arms export loans were reduced to 20 billion French francs in 1989, equivalent to US$4 billion, which is 47% lower than in 1988. This dramatic decrease involves the export sales of various types of military equipment.
