lpv:spoken text	"Further to the comments of my colleague, Mr MacCormick, I too was very concerned. That is why I tabled the question. The Amnesty International Report, Stopping the Torture Trade (2001), found that electric-shock devices have been used to torture or ill-treat people in prisons, detention centres and police stations in no less than 76 countries around the world. The report also found that stun-gun weapon manufacturers are advertising these products with the 'awarded' CE standard. As Mr MacCormick has said, the CE mark was meant to be a sign of quality and safety, but in a torture weapon it is pretty perverse and sickening. I welcome the Commissioner's proposal and would welcome further clarification of the timetable. To push things a little bit forward: you have explained how the CE mark is awarded, but how are the recipients of the awards monitored and have any CE marks been withdrawn, to your knowledge?"@en1
