In 2007, a web-based interactive map component was added to the arms export database, which BICC has been using since 2006 to study how 170 countries comply with the requirements of the EU Code of Conduct for Arms Exports. An interactive map of the world provides access to the various contents of the database. It provides a global overview, enables a comparison of different countries in the global context or a regional analysis of specific world regions by zooming in on the map. The introduction of the WebGIS (Internet-based Geographic Information System) has significantly improved the database’s ability to provide in-depth analyses and evaluations.
