".
The very title of the debate is an insult to the people mourning the dead from the new imperialist order of affairs and an insult to the workers of the EU who pay dearly for arms.
Such a debate is ironic when the ΕU is promoting the financing of research in the military sector, the development of the arms industry and increased sales of all types of weapons to various countries.
References to child victims of conflicts are an insult to people's intelligence when the ΕU intervenes militarily in countries in order to increase the influence and control of new markets, fomenting local and regional crises and conflicts, when the Member States and the EU itself are allied with occupying armies.
The references to smuggling and, more importantly, to increased use of private security or the provision of military and police services are monumentally hypocritical, because it is precisely the arms companies and the EU itself which are promoting these policies.
An ΕU which is in the process of militarisation, which cooperates with the USA and ΝΑΤΟ against the people has no right to refer to codes of conduct on arms exports and disarming.
The promotion of disarmament can be achieved through the fight of the peoples to overturn the sovereign political forces. To expect such measures from the Europe of imperialism and war is to delude oneself."@en1
