"This report is about drawing up a binding code of conduct on arms exports within the framework of the European Union. It is proposed that a new EU body for controlling the Member States’ exports be established. Notwithstanding the view taken as a matter of principle on this issue, there are reasons for questioning whether these developments would lead to a more restrictive policy, which is the objective. At the same time, the European Defence Agency is pushing for the more extensive coordination and liberalisation of the Member States’ export policies.
We are opposed to establishing an EU body for arms export controls. Nor do we believe that the existence of the European Defence Agency is justified. The volume of each Member State’s arms exports should be determined by its national parliament. For this reason, Sweden is entitled to conduct a restrictive exports policy in the future too.
In light of the above, we shall vote against the report in the final vote."@en1
