"The illicit manufacture and trafficking of firearms, their parts, components and ammunition have harmful effects on the security of all inhabitants of the EU. In addition, tracing firearms is of the greatest importance in the fight against organised crime.
It is essential to take the measures necessary to prevent, combat and eradicate this type of crime.
According to World Health Organization data, interpersonal violence and suicide rank third and fourth respectively among the world’s leading causes of ill-health and premature mortality in people aged 15–44 years, with a large proportion resulting from the use of firearms.
This initiative therefore aims to adapt the Directive on the control of the acquisition and possession of weapons, and set common rules enabling Member States to monitor the acquisition and possession of firearms and their transfer to another Member State.
Although the Commission's proposal is generally positive, it confines itself to incorporating aspects of the UN 2001 Protocol. It is important for it also to consider the changes that the Commission’s 2000 report identified as necessary."@en1
