“The EU’s foreign affairs council has said after a meeting in Brussels that some of the bloc’s members will respond to the Iraqi Kurds’ call for military aid, given they have Baghdad’s consent. The EU also reiterated its commitment to Iraqi unity.  Prior to the EU statement France said it will send weapons to the Kurds.  Even Germany, which is usually cautious about sending arms into battle zones, has pledged to work ‘full speed’ to supply ‘non-lethal’ equipment such as armored vehicles, flak jackets and helmets; Germany is one of the world’s major arms manufacturers and exporters.  The UK’s foreign secretary Phillip Hammond has also said that Britain will arm the Kurds.”
