".
The Verts/ALE Group welcomes the fact that the report by Mr Titley on an EU code of conduct on arms exports is a major improvement on his previous reports on this issue. We can fully support the vast majority of this report and we welcome many of its recommendations. However we regret that many of our members felt they had to abstain from the final vote because the amendment to delete section 1 (d) "… Reiterates its belief that European policy in arms export must: (d) meet the needs and challenges of the European defence industry" was not adopted.
Had this section been removed we could have supported the final report. But to leave this objective in the report completely contradicts what we believe to be an ethical policy on arms. We feel that an ethical code of conduct on arms exports should not be dictated by the needs of the European defence industry."@en1
